Train Trip

My class took an Amtrak Train Trip from the Anaheim train station to the San Diego Old Town train station.  (The Anaheim station somewhat shares the same parking lot as Angel Stadium; and it was $56 round-trip)   The train ride took about 2 hours each way - the seats were fairly comfortable, the view is better upstairs, and there are usually more seats towards the end of the train.  Taking the train is more relaxing than driving, especially when there is traffic.

It was a nice day, and a really fun trip.   We had a good time of fellowship with those in the class who went on the trip.  One couple was even celebrating their 39th Anniversary with us on the trip.  We departed at about 9AM, arrived at about 11AM, had time for a leisurely lunch at the Livingroom Cafe, a really nice outdoor cafe with healthy and fresh food.  We then strolled through the Old Town shops, museums, and historical landmarks.   Then, we met for dinner at 4PM at the Old Town Mexican Cafe.  The food was really good and they made their own fresh tortillas right in the restaurant.  I ordered a mini molcajete with grilled shrimp, chicken, beef, sausages and bell pepper and avocado dipped in salsa; served with tortillas - so good!   We then departed on the 6:51PM train for the return trip.  It was a great day altogether.
