We’re in Kamloops now and it’s 6 a.m. I was up at 5:10 with
the sun, almost the whole train is up now. Good times. Breakfast isn’t served
for another hour.
While we were moving still at 5:30 I went into the dome car
and took a few photos of the amazing view. This older man was talking very
loudly, very loudly, to a woman about his illness, his ex-wife, his problems,
etc. and I really didn’t want to listen, plus it was very cold in there and all
my clothes are in my checked bags. I have shorts and a t-shirt. So I’m back at
my seat now, waiting for us to get on the road again.
Breakfast and lunch were both good, they have a cook
onboard, but it’s a little pricey at $8 a time. Still, not terrible. I’m reading Atlas, Shrugged and contemplating
socialism and the balance between profit and responsibility to provide a meal
to people with nowhere else to go. I suppose it’s reasonable. Breakfast was
bacon, eggs, English muffin and hash browns. Lunch was grilled cheese with
pickle, salad, potato/egg salad and a pickle slice. They used real cheese and
brown bread, so what do you want.
Lots of nice views that I’m sure I’d be appreciating more if
I hadn’t just been to Alaska, but also lots of trees and trees. And trees.
Three hours left till I get to Jasper, my lower back is
starting to complain.
Got to Jasper fine and my brother Arthur was there waiting
for me which was nice! We went for dinner and walked all around town, it was
very nice to see him. We went and met up with a few of his friends and then I
had an early night as I was tired from traveling.
Here he is in his room:
