It was a long day. Up at 5, with the vans loaded at 5:30am and off to Penn Station. The drive in was easy and we had plenty of time to have breakfast at the train station and buy lunch. (Penn Station is under Madison Square Gardens so it had plenty of food options.)
The train left basically on time: 8:15am. Unfortuantely, it did not arrive on time. 7:10 became 8:35pm. The main reason was the border. It took nearly three hours to clear customs. While most had no issues, the few who had to answer further questions off the train took a lot of time. Still, the train ride allowed lots of leg room, walking, and sitting playing cards in the diner car. Plus, the scenery was great.
Ken Harbers was at the train waiting for us and we soon headed home. The group had a final prayer at the train station, as the three vechicles headed (eventually) in three different directions. It's now 11:25 and it's time for me to go to bed.
Hopefully, I'll some pictures up on my website as well as offer some further reflection on this trip. Until then, good night and God bless.
