The ride from the Twin Cities was wonderful and gave me a chance to decompress. There was no internet along the way but guess that was good too–no e-mails. Amtrak’s routes are beautiful and sitting in the upper passenger compartments gives you a perfect vantage point to see the country.
It stormed through the entire state of Ohio and the lightening put on a great lightshow. We reach Pittsburgh about 5 a.m. and we able to experience the river valleys and the rolling hills of PA. We zigzagged through the states of Maryland and W.V. Last stop in W.V. was John Brown’s hometown–Harper’s Ferry.
Steven picked me up in D.C. and we had a great home cooked meal. Damn it was hotter than Hades D.C. and today every bit as hot. All in all having a great time.
