Day 25:
Another train day. I woke up at 3:30 am, so I got to see Cleveland Ohio at night. When I awoke later in the morning, we were in Indiana wasn't very exciting.
I had breakfast with a very interesting couple this morning, Herb & Kathy. They live in Rhode Island. Kathy is a retired teacher who now does organic gardening, and Herb is a semi-retired professor, who has the best voice I've ever heard. I told him he needs to be doing radio or something. He said, "it does come in handy in the classroom". They are also very active in the Obama campaign. They asked me who I was going to vote for, and I said I hadn't made up my mind yet. They spent the next hour trying to win me over. They have all kinds opf interesting stories about Sarah Pahlin.
When we got to Chicago, it was raining. Can you guess what else? That's right. It was really windy. I didn't get to see Chicago either. The train was an hour and a half late. By the time I got my bag, and checked it for the next train, and got to the waiting area, she told me I had to be back in an hour. I hadn't even had lunch yet, so I just stayed in the station. When I got back, they announced that the train was running a few minutes late. They were having mechanical difficulties, so that few minutes stretched to 2 hours. Oh well, I didn't really want to walk around in the wind and rain anyway.
I'm so spoiled living where I do. I always seem to take it for granted.
Finally got on the train headed for Denver. I did get to see a little bit of Iowa before it got dark.
Listened to more of the Shack. An interesting twist in the story. I'm not sure what I think about it yet.
