California Zephyr

Time is just flying for me on the train. These long haul trains that I was really worried about before I began my trip are nothing. Actually, they are pretty nice. I get time to myself, and can work on postcards, reading, or anything else I need to do. Or I can amuse myself by just looking out the window. It’s so gorgeous on this route. Really, I could just look out the window all day long. Today, I spent several hours in the Lounge Car (it has enormous windows) and I also:
Crossed over the continental divide
Went through 30 tunnels (the longest was 6.2 miles)
Entered Utah
Took a nap
Had at least 30 cough drops
Had 5 bottles of water, a CapriSun, and a mug of tea (I’m sick, remember?)
