Back from Chicago

I need to write about Amtrak- since we’ve spent almost 32 hours on board. But I’m so tired I’m afraid my thoughts might be very negative. The sleeping car arrangements were ok- tiny, but comfy. About what I expected. But talking to other passengers at breakfast, it turns out the Cardinal is one of the few trains that they put the sleeping car on the back of the train. What results is much more bumping and sways through the night. Like being on the back end of a very long roller coaster with no straps, I woke about 2 am white knuckling my bed like an inner city American finding himself suddenly on a Siberian Tiger.

So, I’ll write more later. We had fun. We did something very different. We’re both very, very tired.
