Back in the Big Apple

So here we are, a little tired but pleased to finally be back in New York and staying with our relatives in Soho.

The train ride was an experience, Max and I really enjoyed it because we both got some sleep overnight. Gesa and Issie, however, suffered from Issie having a dreadful cold and tossing and turning all night, keeping Gesa awake with her. So they are less rested!

It was, though, very nice to watch the world glide by the train window and gradually change from the sunny palm trees and orange groves of South Florida through rural Carolinas, past the famous sights in Washington D.C. and finally into New York itself. The train has about three times as much space as an airline seat so we could stretch out even though we were, this time, sleeping in those same seats.

When we travel across Canada in a couple of weeks time, we'll have proper beds and some real luxury, we hope.

More later, time for some rest now.
