Seattle bound on the Starlight!
Been on a train since last night. The west coast is beautiful, trains are so charming, and best of all I'm short enough to be able to sleep comfortably curled up in coach, so basically everything is perfect.
I spent most of the day in the sightseeing car staring out at the mountains, lakes, rivers and trees softly noodling around on my ukulele much to the delight of the babyboomer couples around me who clapped enthusiastically and repeatedly suggested I should have a tip jar. I'm going to have to write to Amtrak and suggest they get a program for musicians like VIA Rail has! -V.
