Boarded on the train, though with a little confusion as to where we could sit. Got it figured out after all, but confusion describes a lot of what had us rushing this morning. Ended up taking an Uber, which cut an hour off our travel time, so we had a bit to sit around. This was okay – relaxing even. But frantic to start.
The train has a different pace. Almost two hours out; we’ve had to stop once to wait for freight, and once we backed up (to get to a siding line for you guessed it: freight). But after the first twenty minutes or so, after the city rolls away (surprisingly quickly) you come to that moment of realization that: “I’m here for a while”, and you should get comfy.
I’m napping, relaxing with the blinds drawn.
I’ve explored a little bit, through the kitchen car and up into the dome. I’ll go spend more time there soon, but right now I’m just chilling.
Enjoying the pace?
So far: most definitely.
