Coming home

We had too much stuff!! Of course we used it all, but we still had too much. We decided to use the subway from the airport to downtown to get to Union Station the last morning. Our hotel had a free shuttle to the airport. We got to the subway without much trouble and onto the train. However, repairs to the lines were being made and closed some of the stations for the weekend. We had to transfer to a bus with all that stuff. When we go to the place to get on the subway again, and it was elevated without an elevator or escalator, I said it was time for a cab to Union Station. We got there with no problems after that, check the extra luggage, and ate lunch while we waited for the train to load.

Again we got seats together. The trains were comfortable except the restrooms. We had room to spread out and sleep and play games with Susan. Again we enjoyed the observation car, and, this time, we ate in the diner. The food was good and not too expensive. We were prepared for cold at night. What we weren't prepared for was a freight train that broke down in front of out train and held us up 7 hours. We got into Ft. Worth 6 1/2 hours late, 8:30 at night. We got a motel, dinner, and slept until 9.


On the drive home we saw the camels between Electra and Iowa Park. I stopped on the shoulder when we saw that part of the herd was close to the fence. We sat there about 10 minutes, watching the camels and taking pictures.
