Across the dry fields & valleys we travelled ... continued evidence that we are in dyer need of rain. serious rain!
I clicked off a few pictures here & there, then took to reading, puzzling, gaming, & napping- with the occasional glance up to see where we were or how the landscape had morphed. As evening fell, we made reservations for a dinner table in the dining car & were seated with a couple from our neck of the woods- on their way to Oregon. It was comfortable and interesting conversation, and we bid them a good eve & good travels, as we returned to our assigned seats a couple of cars back. The 6 hr travel seemed shorter than actual & we arrived at the Jack London Square station on time, with just a short wait for our hotel shuttle. It was an overnighter stop that allowed us to start up travel today fresh & alert, so we can check out what might really be the interesting scenery once we leave the confines of the Bay Area. This morning, we leave out of Emeryville Station, with Starbucks in had and a chocolate donut stashed in my bag. My yogurt & fruit will wear off WAY before noon!
ONWARD we press ......
