Looks like about a dozen passengers boarding including one in room nextdoor. I learned that you can have the attendant bring you lunch instead of going to the dining car. Taking note, but I'm still going to go in for lunch.Okumaya devam et

When my seatmate at lunch said he was going to Vancouver, I was kind of afraid to break it him that he was on the wrong train. Who knew there was a Vancouver, WA???

It may be time for a nap soon. The rhythm of the rails is soporific.

We are allowed to get off and walk around for a bit. I got some snacks from the gift shop and free tea from the first class lounge. I feel fancy

This is a short stop so no getting off unless I want to get left behind.

My biggest decision I am facing now is what time to get my dinner reservation. I'm liking this!

I've been looking at the map and seeing all sorts of names I don't normally associate with Washington or Oregon. The oddest? Des Moines????

Pulled over to let another train go by.

I think it's close enough to 5 for cocktail hour!
I agree, Lynn, ( Raul does too )

We are allowed off, so I am stretching my legs. There are share-bikes here. Worst case, I could bike to catch-up, I guess.

Things I've learned so far
28 Ekim 2019, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 48 °F
Should have tried to reserve room on west side of train I'm on the east and scenery had been better on the other side the room across the hall was vacant, until Eugene.

Should have brought a charger that has a cord to plug in to the wall. The brick I have won't plug in my room. I am making do by using the power packs to charge my devices and the socket at the end of the hall to charge those, but still, it was an error

Should have brought a paper book. All I have is ebooks. See above for power issues

Should have brought wine in a resealable container. Canned wine travels well, but I have to drink the whole thing in one sitting. Wait? Is that an error?Okumaya devam et

We are in the middle of Oregon with no cell or wifi. I assume this message will upliad in the morning. I'm sitting in the scenic car now cause it has power I can access. Dinner in 15 minutes.

Train shoes
28 Ekim 2019, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌙 32 °F
I had a question about my train shoes (thanks,Lynn!)

I had read that you have to wear shoes always on the train, but I wanted to be relaxed so I brought along these foldable flats whose sole is not much more than a thick piece of fabric. I have worn the out on streets, but not often. They feel lkind if ike slippers, but look enough like real shoes. The perfect train shoes!Okumaya devam et

I don't know what this place is really called. And it's dark, so I can't read it.

But I now have a bed. With an extra blanket
That looks comfortable Lynn

Pulling in to Martinez. Got about 9 restless hours of sleep. Not great sleep, but long!
Well, I thought the bed looked comfortable. ( but what do I know we camp a lot! ) I must admit you do not look like happy Sarah. Lynn

We were going through the mountains so a lot of rocking and turning and the heat was wonky so it would get too hot and then too cold. The bed was fine. It just moved too much. - Sarah

I look a little more human too.

They have showers on board but that was more than I was willing to dare. Wet and soapy doesn't mix well with rocking train.

I saw a woman putting on mascara and thought she was going to poke her eye out!Okumaya devam et

Time to get ready

It's 30 minutes to San Jose, so I guess it's time to collect my belongings and say goodbye to the train shoes.
Do all train shoes look alike? Lynn

I only brought one pair. I have another pair that red and black, but I'm going to get another one pair in velvet, for that touch of class! - Sarah

We are held up due to congestion so I think we may be a little late in to San Jose
