To LA And Back, Part 3

On our way back home.

Victoria drove us to the train station. LA traffic is wonderful.

Outside Union Station.

Henry had a Wetzel’s pretzel for lunch. He enjoyed it.

Coming back along the coast at high tide.

It was  a bit gloomy but beautiful.

Some lunch.

Another stop. The couple in the foreground live in Oakland and were coming back from LA. He works at a large US Mail distribution center in Oakland.

The guy walking towards me is on his way up to UBC to study for a masters in Forensic Psychology. His main field of research is surfer and skater culture.

The “horseshoe” curve between San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.

That’s highway 101. The train is pretty high up on the hill.

Back in Oregon, so green. The train was late getting into Klamath Falls so we were able to enjoy views of Mt. Shasta. I had a long conversation with a sheep farmer from New Zealand as we wended our way through the cascades.

Goodbye parlor car. That’s Angelina, our porter on the left.
