| Amtrak's Capitol Corridor Train to San Jose |
Emeryville, San Jose, Amtrak's Coast Starlight
Enjoyed three nights at the Hyatt House Hotel in Emeryville, CA. While there I took a little downtime to eat a Fuddrucker's Hamburger and attend the IMAX movie The Greatest Showman which I highly recommend on Thursday. Friday I rode the Capitol Corridor train to San Jose, CA, and walked to the Old Spaghetti Factory to eat my favorite food - spaghetti with meat sauce. Saturday, I walked back to the Bay Street shopping area for lunch at P.F. Chang's(crispy honey chicken with white rice) and to see the movie 1517 to Paris. Another good movie about the three young Americans who stopped a terrorist attack on on a French high speed train. I am glad I saw the movie in Northern California since the three young men were local Sacramento hometown heroes.
Then last night(Saturday) I returned to the Emeryville Amtrak Station and boarded the Coast Starlight at 10 PM for the overnight and all day today trip to Seattle arriving on time at 7:50 PM. Another good ride and interesting table mates at every meal in the dining car. One snow photo in Cascades in Oregon.
Tomorrow, Monday, I'll have the whole day to hang loose in Seattle and to organize everything for my across Canada trip on Via Rail's CANADIAN from Vancouver Tuesday night to Saturday or Sunday arrival in Toronto. Suppose to be sunny if cool here in the 40's Monday. Early Tuesday morning I ride Amtrak's Superliners Seattle to Vancouver arriving around noon. I have about eight hours in Vancouver before the CANADIAN departs 8:30 PM. Since there were a lot of dead "cell" spots in Oregon, I expect even more making it difficult to post blog posts as I travel across Canada. Maybe a short one or two IPhone posts but I promise a full update on the Canada trip after I return home to Nashville. If I arrive on Saturday in Toronto, I'll post a few "teaser" photos on Sunday before flying home to Nashville Monday, February 19.
Here are a few photos from my time in Emeryville and San Jose.
