Amtrak's California Zephyr Traveling Through Snowy Colorado |
Seven Amtrak Winter Adventure Photo Galleries
I returned home Sunday, January 17, from my very enjoyable Amtrak Winter Adventure. I enjoyed my short one day in New Orleans mainly riding streetcars and visiting the Garden District where I found several homes already decorated for Mardi Gras season. I even enjoyed the three plus hour bus ride from New Orleans to Jackson, MS, to begin my Amtrak City of New Orleans journey. Since it was 9 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago I stayed inside all of my five hour wait for the California Zephyr. Success! I wanted to see more snow this year than I saw last January 2015. I did! It was simply beautiful. Good snow scenes through Colorado and also over the Sierra Nevadas in California. I took lots and lots of photos so I suggest you save this blog update and use as a link to view the photo galleries in several viewings. Here are the links to each of the seven photo galleries.
All the galleries are available in gallery folder:

Just three weeks from today on Tuesday, February 9, I fly to San Jose, Costa Rica, to visit my friend Charlie who lives in Atenas. Charlie has Internet at his home so I am hopeful to post a few blog updates while at his home. I will not be using my IPhone while out of the country so will only be posting when I can use my laptop with SD card reader to insert some of my photos from my camera in the blog.
My Next 2016 TRAVEL PLANS
Costa Rica February 9-23 - I will be visiting my friend Charlie Doggett who moved to Costa Rica in December 2014.
