2 years ago, travelling in California.
while it only took 2 or 3 hours to fly from San Diego to San Jose
i chose to take train
because of its slowness-literally "slow", took me more than 12 hours
but it was fun.
the train was called "Coast Starlight"-海岸星光號

attached with dining car and sightseer lounge
the flloor-to- celing windows gave the magnificent scenery along the coast-I spent most of time here when i was awake.

we passed the pacific ocean,

the swamp,

the vine yards,

the state penitentiary(we were informed by the train driver- he seemed to enjoy himself as a tour guide, always remind us to see the "unmissable" scenes),

the "bigness" and "emptiness" of land,

the solitude of a streetlamp,

the stylish but abandoned station,

the seemingly timelessness scene,

and even the rainbow.
