On my last day in Cali, I got to the Amtrak train station to board the Coast StarLiner (Huge trains that goes from San Jose to Seattle in 26 hours). The train was an hour late (how typical of trains) and in the mean time I met a nice girl named Mila who helped me through a lot of boring hours on the trip.
The first 8 hours of the trip, which started at aroudn 10pm, were pretty much in complete darkness and there wasn't really anything to do except sleep and talk (and not much talk after everyone's gone to sleep). Naturally sleep was quite awful and scarce, but that's just how I roll nowadays.
After I woke up for the last time (of many) and saw it was finally light out, I started taking picture and admiring the view. MAN! there were awesome views. Soon after breakfast was served. Over breakfast, I got seated with a bunch of random people and everyone told his story of how he got to be on the train. The same thing, pretty much, happened for every meal. The food was nice and it was really fun passing the trip just by talking to a lot of random people.
I met David, Ashley and Havier at the station and they immediatly took me to a Jazz & Swing bar for a few beers (Teh life!). After that we went up the space needle and got a few pictures of racoons. Then David and I drove all the way back to Port Angeles where I spent my next ... 11 days, having an awesome time!
Okay, the ferry's docking so it's time to go.
Salutations,
Nathan
