Sightseeing
... Trains
& bus - Brunswick, ME to St. Paul, MN
Our day started early Tuesday
morning with a walk from our hotel to the Amtrak station in Brunswick. Our first
train was the Downeaster to Boston, a 3 hour ride.
In Boston, we took the
subway to a different station for our next train, the Lake Shore Limited, 23 hours
to Chicago. Fortunately, there was an assistant to help us buy tickets and find
the right subway. The train left around noon. We didn't sleep much as the air
conditioning was quite cool, our raincoats didn't make the best blankets! We arrived
at Union station in Chicago mid morning. Next, we took a bus ride up to Madison,
WI and met up with Linda's sister Karen and family for an overnight visit. Enjoyed
chatting, a home cooked meal, good sleep and the beautiful weather.
Thursday,
Kar dropped us off at the Amtrak station in Columbus,WI for our next 5 hour train
ride, on the Empire Builder, to St. Paul. We're staying here for a week visiting
family before we head on to Portland.
