There's a slow train comin'🚃

It's not that slow when it's running. But it does take its breaks. The biggest one right at the beginning.

My first full day on the train starts after a pretty good night in subzero temperatures (outside). With a bagel and a coffee.

There's nothing else available at the snack car, probably because of the 7-hour delayed departure. Honestly, I have no idea why.

The highlight of this day, apart from the entertaining conductor Preston👮, is the ever-changing landscape.

First, we go from barren forests and meadows to greenery, and then the first palm trees pass by the window. And of course, it keeps getting warmer. 🤗

And my stomach feels better too. Suddenly, there's pizza. Very tasty.

Other than that, there's nothing much to report from the train ride, except that we're already almost 9 hours late...

But it doesn't matter right now, because Preston is bringing a turkey burger with potato salad, and in 4 hours, I'll be in Miami Beach.

Tomorrow, it's the beach and the waves 😎🏊🐳

Stay tuned
