We spent all day on the train today. Plenty of people here have asked why we would bus around when the trains are so much better. Mainly, it’s because buses are cheaper and go more places. But, we thought we should end our experience in the USA with at least one train ride, and it wasn’t overly successful.

The train was very comfortable and relaxing. But, it was 45 minutes late leaving, and got delayed in the middle because of another train that was broken down on the track. Poor Rachel and Anne waited at the station for over two hours for us!

RACHEL AND ANNE! Yes, our San Diegan friends are back! It’s very good that we get to see them again. We are outstandingly happy with the whole situation. We’re sharing a hotel room in Miami, and will hang out while we are here.

I think the Everglades is the plan for tomorrow, I’m excited for the alligators!
