September 18, 2011: Chicago

I pretty much slept the whole 20 hours to Chicago and did not have much time in the actual windy city…..about 2 hours which I spent at the stations Mcdonalds before climbing back onto an Amtrak for my journey on to Washington DC.

The train to DC was jam packed as usual so I waited for everyone else to fall asleep or pass out before snagging a bench in the observation car to use as my bed…..a little Amtrak professional traveler tip if your a fellow train rider and flexible like me.  Since I don’t have much pictures from the train marathon back east, I’ll post some of what I was dreaming about the whole ride……
