Morning came early today...4:00 am...even for a 'morning' person!!! We dragged our baggage to the train station and jumped aboard 'The Surfliner' for the beginning of the next stage of our journey. After 3 hours we were in Los Angles after enjoying seeing some of the roads we had ridden and some of the campgrounds that we had stayed in. In Los Angles we changed trains to our sleeper accommodation. We were a little startled at the size of our room...or should I say the 'lack' of size of our room. Compared to our Cross Canada train accommodation this room is truly tiny...but it is private with great views of the countryside.
We spent some time in the 'Parlor Car' enjoying the 'panoramic views' of the Ocean...but only at times. Calling this train the 'Coast Starlight' is a bit misleading. We are not on the actual coast very much but it is great to see some of Southern California somewhat inland...or as much as you can see from a train window!
While sitting in the Parlor Car, we met a couple from Los Angles. We had a great conversation while enjoying the 'wine tasting' and joined them for dinner. Thanks Marc and Cindy for the 'openness' of your conversations and your genuine interest in our adventure.
Speaking of meals, the food is quite good just like it was on the train across Canada. And yes the wine is not 'too bad' either!
