Started my 30-day Amtrak Rail Pass on Sunday, July 1. The first leg of my trip from Los Angeles took me on the Southwest Chief to Chicago and then on the Hiawatha to Milwaukee (more a commuter route, a very short 86 miles).

In short, train great, but hard to sleep. At least for me. A lot of the people I saw looked like they were out like a light, but this was not the case for me in my coach seat. It was pretty darn uncomfy for sleeping. Also, the A/C was cranked way up so although most of the landscape we passed through was burning up in record heat waves, it was freezing inside and I had to wear a sweatshirt.

I loved the diversity which included a bunch of Asian teenagers from a Bible study group (I think), a Muslim family in traditional garb, a troop of smelly boy scouts coming home from a camping trip (and who apparently didn’t have time to shower before they got on the train) and an Amish or Mennonite group. I also met a gay couple from England who were looking forward to the Olympic Games in London next month. Most of the people who worked on and ran the train were African American, as expected. So it was kind of perfect for just prior to the 4th of July – and confirming the fact that we’re potentially great because of our diversity.

Enjoy the pix, some of which are Instagrammed; the video as well,  and hopefully there will be more coming. I get back on the train July 13th: next stop, Cleveland.
