We were supposed to take the Amtrak Coast Starlight train down to Southern California, but it was severely delayed due to bad weather in Oregon and Washington. Changed trains, taking San Joaquin to Bakersfield and then a bus to Los Angeles.
Here we go!
Man, wouldn’t it be nice to have a high speed rail system in California?
Sneak attack!
We’re 3/4 the way through a bottle of wine when we hear over the intercom, “Remember folks, you’re not allowed to drink your own alcohol on the train, or we’ll remove you and your alcohol from this train.” Crap!
On another note — the Central Valley is a lot more fun to look at when you aren’t driving through it.
