2 Days on a Train

Sat 25 Feb

Eventually woke in a new time zone. Quick shower as we pulled into Tucson, Arizona. Meals are included in our fare so we ate well, the coffee wasn't too bad. Will just rest up today. Not much else to do other than watching the scenery go by.

Relaxing in our "room".

Scenery: very dry, desert-like with rugged mountains in the distance. Dry scrub with little bushes everywhere as well as a lot of prickly pear cactus (there was a plague of this once in Australia). All the watercourses we've crossed have been dry. We did see three deer taking off away from the tracks. Oddly, houses (many abandoned) are scattered throughout the landscape and the train tracks are usually near the poorer parts of towns we pass through. There a lots of trailer parks and tiny houses in need of repairs.
