Yes, we are back on the train.
Doesn't Wanda look happy, this girl is such a good traveler.
Northern Virginia is a really pretty train ride.
Much more open than what we had passed thru on earlier travels.
The farmland is softly rolling and so green. They are calling this the summer that never was. It has been cool and rainy, perfect for green and growing things.
But for a trio of Belizian wimps, it stinks!
Leaving Richmond, VA it was raining buckets.
Going thru our nations capital, Washington, DC
Raining cats and dogs
But with all this legroom, big overstuffed reclining seats, picture windows and great scenery its really a nice way to spend the day. And if you get tired of sitting and watching the world go by, head for the
dining car!
We didn't have reservations for lunch, yes there are requested, but Wanda being the shy, retiring flower that she is introduced herself to Pria and Tim and they invited us to join them at their table. What a fun couple. On their way to a Jazz concert in New York City with a possible side trip to see either Spiderman or Lion King.
He has just started working in real estate and she is in insurance. Having traveled in Europe, Japan and Hawaii they must be doing something right.
40 minutes north of Washington we finally arrive in the home of my birth.
Baltimore, Maryland.

Once again a picture that was supposed to show a wonderful meal was devoured before we could snap the pic. Bad Wanda
Joe was supposed to reprimand her......
No wonder she is so bad.
Tomorrow is another day, let me get some rest and see what we can get into tomorrow. Sleep well my friends, love ya miss ya see ya.
Look at all that LUGGAGE!!! BL
ReplyDeleteTrain-tripping is so much fun. I envy you guys - not the cold though. Leave that up there.
ReplyDeleteDo lizards get pot-bellies? I didn't just ask that, did I?
Have a good time and stay safe.
Cheers,
