In My Life

We got back here today after quite an uncomfortable night. We had been warned not to take seats near the doors, but, for the first time, we were allotted seats before we boarded, and that’s where we were placed. All through the night the restless and the double minded kept going back and forth through our doors and making a racket. Besides that, our leg rests were not fully functioning, so our legs were neither up nor down. We both got some sleep, but not nearly enough.
This morning we had a couple of spare hours before we board the California Zephyr to San Francisco – it will be our longest unbroken journey. We walked uptown to our favorite cafe – The Corner Bakery Cafe – for a coffee and one last slice of their famous Cinnamon Cream Cake. We were not disappointed. It was quite a hike that probably took the distance we’ve walked so far well over the 100 miles mark. Last time it was 80F but, today, two weeks later, it’s 50F/10C; and windy!!!!
Here at Union Station the passengers are rolling up and those with stored luggage are all struggling to unlock the lockers. We are hoping for good seats this time.
