On the Train

Well we made it on the train and have made some friends too. I haven't had much sleep but Bree has had about 4-5 hrs, lucky her! I was to anxious to sleep really. Not knowing what to expect I was looking around just observing everything. Very strange, train rides are! When people ask where we are from and I say TN they look at me in amazement. Like they are surprised I have all my teeth and have managed to wear shoes! LOL! Its kinda funny! As we've been riding along I've seen some very beautiful scenery and some very strange scenery. I never realized what sort of things are near train tracks. We passed some beautiful homes that I could practically see into we were so close, and other homes nestled into the mountain surrounded by trees made of just wood. I wonder if they have running water and electricity. We saw a beautiful river that converged onto a rocky quarry of sorts that
created this beautiful cascade of small waterfalls. Gorgeous really! What a beautiful country side!

Breakfast on the train was an experience! Not necessarily a bad one but most definitely interesting. We walked through three coach cars and a lounge car to get to the communal dinning room. Yes, I said communal, as in the table seats four and if you have two in your party you will be seating across from two complete strangers. I don't know what I thought it would be like but it turned out to be fun! We ate breakfast with these two older ladies from Louisville, who love hearing Bree talk about dance and anything else really. They seem to be reliving every moment with Bree as she speaks! Very cute to watch someone else be as enthralled with Bree as I am everyday! Our breakfast that consisted of a bagel with turkey bacon and a perfectly round egg and cheese with a side of potatoes! Not bad for train food? What is train food supposed to taste like? It tasted good I think, I'm no sure
really because I think I was so hungry I would have eaten anything they put in front of me! $18 later we are back in our seats. Bree is watching a movie and I'm going to try and catch a nap!
