Riding into the New Year on the Coast Starlight
I’ve been thinking. I overindulged during Christmas (I dare anyone to pass up my Mom’s marzipan). And I pulled out all the stops at the Hotel deLuxe New Year’s soirée. Delicious food, illustrious libations.
So I decided to take a couple of days off and take the train up to Seattle for a night. After all, I didn’t overindulge there. Plus, I love Seattle. And I also just love the train. When else do you get 4 uninterrupted hours to read, do the crossword puzzle, and/or daydream? The view is pretty spectacular, too.
The train station is maybe a mile from Hotel deLuxe. Two trains a day go to Seattle, one in the morning that gets you there at noonish, and one at noonish that gets you there around 4. And it drops you virtually right downtown. It’s a grand day out.
Till later,
Emily
