One van, one plane, four trains then a car ride and we’re hanging out at Cari and Richard’s. It’s been a great travel day with a normal dose of confusion, some walking and lots of miles.
Not much to report on the plane side of things, other than it was bumpy leaving Seattle because of storms and bumpy coming into Philadelphia for no good reason. We got a great view of the city as we came in and saw where we’ll be staying. Sabrina was great on the flight and now has enough frequent flyer miles to get a free ticket to Europe or South America.
After a SEPTA train and an Amtrak train to Newark, New Jersey, we had a bit of confusion and ended up spending $3 we didn’t have to spend at the station, thinking we were hurrying to catch the train on the other platform when it wasn’t what we wanted at all. A nice conductor helped us out and made sure we made it on the right train out of Newark 
but had a bit of a time figuring out what to charge us since we weren’t taking his train past Secaucus. By now Sabrina was looking around and reading every sign she could spot. It’s great to see here eager to learn and trys out really hard words now.
At Secaucus we had a bit of time and got to check out the beautiful sculpture in the middle of the station. The station was very impressive and clean and we had a few minutes to relax before our last train to Westwood.
Finally back at Cari and Richard’s (and Catalina’s too!!) we relaxed and chatted for a good long while before turning in much too late. But it’s hard to get on the East coast schedule right away sometimes!
