My first train ride was really nice. I’m hooked now, and looking forward to the rest of this trip! The seats in coach are really big and comfortable, and there was no one sitting next to me, so I could spread out. It was really as big as a real bed, and I had my sleeping bag with me. I’ve been getting off at the smoking breaks every couple of hours. I don’t smoke, but it’s nice to get off the train, and I’m seeing really interesting parts of the country this way, and getting to chat with so many different people. The smokers are definitely more talkative than most of the other people on the train.
I think I’ve got my email worked out. I’ve been trying to get my yahoo account to forward to my Apple Mail client, and I finally figured out how to do that! So hopefully now I’ll stop missing emails, and also be able to just download all my email when I have internet and respond later.
It’s a little surreal to be traveling without my family. For instance, I grossly misjudged how much food I would need- I have enough to feed a family of five for a train ride, but it should last me much longer. Just little things like that keep coming up.
