Another journey on Coast Starlight, the big one, 19 hours south to LA from Portland. Life on the train is very agreeable: beautiful views, chats with other passengers and hearing their travel stories, and good food and drink in the parlour car. Great way to travel.

I've wanted to come here for a long time. And Portland seems to have it all - cycling is great, it's a coffee town, micro-breweries, music, & the great outdoors. Photos here: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A2GFssfGG1MRp7
