Hi!! Photos from the Train:

         Empire Builder, Chicago to Portland via Cold ‘n Blustery

Very much in the middle of Nowhere, Montana

↑ Somewhere, Montana, during a smoke break

← I think this is Williston, North Dakota, but it could also be Chicago. I don’t remember.

↑ Margo and her cat Wanda. I cheated, this isn’t on the train, it’s in Evanston IL. Wanda didn’t join us until San Francisco.

↑ Combination shower and loo, in our sleeper room. A sign on the wall said “Showering may be easier while seated.” Talk about killing two birds… I’m surprised that they don’t have these in some NYC apartments.

↑ Columbia river gorge, from the train window

← Margo makes quick work of yet another crossword.

Mt. Hood from the train, which is crossing the Willamette river and is about one minute from stopping at Union Station, Portland
