I'm going on a long train ride tomorrow! From South Carolina to New York! I'm just going to see an old college friend for a couple of days, but I'm just as pumped about the train ride, because I've never been on one before! They seem so peaceful and charming.
That seems like a short train ride compared to say, going across country or something! Are you going to be sleeping on it overnight?
Yeah, I am. I didn't even know they did across-the-country train rides... Those would be cool. Or maybe they would get boring because you'd start to feel cramped? Who knows. It just always seems like when you hear about trains in movies and TV, they have this romantic quality about them. Maybe it's because they feel like they're from a different era
They really do feel that way! There's actually a train in Africa, I want to say Kenya? Where it is like stepping back in time and you go on a week long journey on the train, you have to dress fancy and it seems like a dream come true.
Oh man that sounds like a really cool idea. Thanks for telling me about that.. sometimes it's surprising the creative things people come up with
