Train to Seattle

January 14th, 2011.

Rachel and I needed to go to Seattle, where my toolbox was previously left behind on account of saving space for other necessities when bringing her effects to Canada. Since such time, the Jeep had become undrivable and my Canadian work permit was about to expire. Making this journey as soon as possible was critical, so we decided to buy train tickets. Other activities required our presence in the United States of America, including the refinishing to perfection of Rachel's engagement ring and our attendance at a friend's birthday celebration. Of course, nothing is easy.


Twas a rare occasion that found us buying train tickets for our usually driven Seattle visit. What luck! To be confronted with a landslide coinciding with our planned train travel date! We had previous visions of great allure and grandeur for our romantic train ride. Alas, we accepted fate and it's peculiar workings later that fine weekend, finding ourselves half-smiling as we waited for the bus which would bring us home.
