SF recap one! (plus some random fun things)!...

Well, this is recap is all about the train ride!  We took the Amtrak California Zephyr from Chicago to Emeryville California (right outside of SF!).  It took us through Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Cali!  It was quite a trip.  It was also delayed 10 hours.  While we were on it (vehicle stuck on tracks, crew time expiration x1 million, flooding, freight train broken down in front of us, our own engine breaking down, etc.!!)...AHHH!  You know, I think the 52 hours would have been the ticket, but 62...was just way too much!  So, we were VERY happy when we finally arrived around 2:30 am.  Here are some of my favorite photos of the whole experience.
