The picture is a sneaky one I took of the Amish men on the train. Note the haircuts. They are all very friendly.
The train from Spokane to Chicago was 3hours late so only had a couple of hours at Chicago.
It was a bit annoying that the Amtrak lounge had no wifi. When smaller places like little Little Rock had wifi. Chicago is the Amtrak hub. I had to drag my bags up to good old McD for wifi. Felt happier when they gave me a free ice-cream with chocolate sauce. It doesn't take much to make me feel happy eh!
When I reach Boston I shall have travelled 8,500 miles in 15 days.
Too much, but plan to slow down now that the rail pass is used up.
Now on train to Boston about 1000 miles. Another overnighter but didn't sleep very much as had 2 young children fidgeting behind me. Also the train was lurching about all over the place and making funny noises on the tracks as though they didn't sit properly. I found it disconcerting.
Trying to catch up on sleep but not succeeding.
Brilliant sunshine again. The trees here have lost their foliage so none of the autumnal colours.
From Albany to Boston it looks just like the countryside in Cornwall this time of year.
