Through a train window

We live in a beautiful country! Wayne and I had an adventure - we took the train, the California Zephyr, from our neighboring town of Emeryville to Denver and back, where we visited our friends the Dinars for Passover celebration. Whew! 30+ hours each way and, believe it or not, it was fun!

We took hundreds of photos out of the window of the train.

I'm serious, the beauty that went by our window in Colorado and Utah took our breath away. Craggy mountains, snow-covered peaks, wild turkeys, a sparkling Colorado River, elk, green hillsides, bald eagles, pine forests - we couldn't tear ourselves away from the window.

It was comfortable too. We had big seats with lots of legroom. There was a dining car and a bar car, although we brought food and wine onboard with us. Occasionally we wandered down to the Observation Car, with its big windows and swivel seats, but mostly we just sat staring out our window and snapping photos.

Here's the inside of "our" car. See a few more photos here!



More later on our trip on Amtrak. All aboard!!
