Day 2

---

Alright so this blog entry is going to be rather short as a lot of our time was spent reading or watching out the window. Watching out the window the pictures will be able to tell that story. I will say that there are a lot pictures of rivers and valleys.



We had lunch in the Dining car and we had dinner in the Pacific Parlour Car. I will say that this has been kind of cool having two different places to eat on the train.



We arrived 45 minutes early into seattle where we all went to the hotel and showered and slept ready to start the next morning.





See Ya Later,

Great pictures
Enjoying the blog, the train food looks better than I expected.

[TrainsandCruises]

Back in the mid 90's Amtrak paid for all of their chefs to go to the Culinary Institute of America. There are few left in the system that remember that...we had one on this train. Even the ones who didn't get that training all have a degree in culinary arts from an institution.
