This train is called that because it skirts along the southern shores of the Great Lakes. We didn’t get to Europe but we’ve been to Syracuse and Rome – towns on this route. Both are noted for traditional Italian food. You learn so much when you’re in a train and you have guide books at hand. We’ve now been to these states: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and now we’re in the train in the state of New York heading for the capital Albany. We have to stop here overnight to wait for the Adirondack – the train that us takes to Montreal.
While in Chicago we attended an Apple workshop on iCloud so now we’ve been looking at a sideshow on PhotoStream of all the photos taken so far on this trip. Great for reminding us of what we’ve seen and done.
The lady at the on-board cafe is the best one we’ve had so far -unflappable, very well organized, and ambidextrous. The previous one was hopelessly tired after a six day shift and struggling to handle customers at her disheveled counter. The restrooms are upstairs instead of down which is good. I guess this is an older carriage.
We’re looking forward to seeing Hannah tomorrow night.

Good to hear from you – yes, we’re having a great time and learning so much about America. It’s vast, it’s diverse, and it’s blessed with natural wonders and resources. Hope all is well with you.
