Trains and Tracks

Salutations from the rain and wet District of Columbia! Here is my account of my train ride back! Here's a photo I took of my parents at lunch. Can't you see the family resemblance? Err...guess I should have used my flash here...whoops!

Here are some photos from my train journey, which, I'm sorry to report, was nothing like the Hogwarts Express!

Pretty much all my experience with trains comes from television. Being on a train wasn't like a 1940's movie either. But, hey look! Construction cones!

Cozy chairs. Ps. I think this is around the point the people behind me started to worry about me and why I was taking pictures of the train.

Hello luggage. Please don't fall on my head if we take a turn. Thanks!

Anyone else wanna sing? Took the midnight train going anywheerrreee....

Hello electricity epicenter, keep doing what you do (although I'm not really sure what that is, I'm sure people appreciate it).

Highway down yonder.

Mostly I saw rundown buildings and graffiti. I think graffiti is pretty swell so welcome to my photo montage:
I wonder if it's hard to pick your graffiti name, I struggle with name picking. Getting a blog name was hard enough, and I don't think Katie Lady Loo carries a lot of street cred (I'm working on that).

This was supposed to be a picture of a passing Acela train, turns out they are very very fast. I blinked and they were already in Arkansas. Acela must be french for "Does not mess around."

I peeked for gators here but didn't find any.

Nature, isn't she grand?

Oh hello, I think I met your cousin earlier.

I will call this one "Peeking out the window." Deep! Intellectually stimulating!

Only a few more stops to go! Woohoo!

 By the end of the trip the car was pretty empty so I could stretch out and live large.

More electricity looking things, they are everywhere!

Rundown train cars, I hoped this wasn't foreshadowing for the rest of my journey! There was a snack cart but there is no telling how long we could live off that for. If I had to survive in the wild I think I would be ready to give up the ghost the moment my cell phone battery died. That's the sad truth.

And I made it!!! I was lugging my suitcase at this point so no more pictures. (Just fyi my arm is sore this morning! I gotta start pumping some iron!)
Any day that ends up at Shake Shack is a good day in my back. Welcome back to DC self!

I'm wearing jeggings and I think I understand what love is now. They are so comffffyyy!

Here I am being a ninja, it's a hobby.

I tried to take some outside pictures in the POURING rain! I scurried back for an umbrella three seconds after these were taken.
