We just pulled down the to berth so Julia could stretch out. She's chipper and feeling much better but needing to lay down.
More on dinner/exploration: the observation car is awesome but crowded. We crossed the Mississippi in the middle of dinner, around 6pm. We are about 20 min behind schedule.
There are a ton of Amish people aboard. Not sure how train travel is ok with them. Or last stop was a ten minute engineer switch and we were given permission to step of the train for a cigarette. We declined (both), as did the Amish.
Sun is getting lower in the sky. Liv had no window in her berth but she does have two mattresses (mine was stowed up there and Brian will fix it all up later).
So...the answer to the hourly question:
Katie: stoked for sunset and the train at nighttime. I would like to see stars from the observation car. Wonder if we will see stars from train at all. really enjoying the ride and very glad Liv is feeling better. We will be in Des moines, ia, shortly. We will travel the length of Nebraska in our sleep which is awesome.
Liv: "I just want to go to bed. I feel really really really really really really tired. I feel like I felt during the olympic opening ceremonies. Just tired!"
