Travel Monkey saying goodbye to Vegas. He leaves with marginally more money than he arrived with... but what's priceless are the friendships he made. At least, that's what he tells himself. God's speed, TM.

#Amtrak sleeper car shower. Small but serviceable and the water is reliably hot.
I did not bring Travel Monkey. If it's not an Art Deco soaker tub, he won't get in. Very pretentious monkey. 🙂

Rolling through a massive windfarm in Indiana. I find wind turbines to be very soothing to watch. And, of course, a key part of our Green energy infrastructure.

My companion, Travel Monkey, appreciates breakfast. TM thinks it's the best meal of the day. So far, found the food on Amtrak to be fine and the cafe car staff to be very pleasant.
In fact, I find Amtrak workers to be generally good with passengers.
