My sister and I sadly got bored of scenery fast... to give you an idea of that, I'm going to begin this post NOT with scenery but with a handful of selfies we took together. Then, I'll break for a moment to talk about an interesting character I met on the train and finish off with some good scenery. BUCKLE UP! Yeah.... there was a LOT of dining car stupidity. To be honest, I think she and I spent more time on our iPods and iPads than anything else during the trip. Fear not, however- there was no wifi for the last portion of the trip; so we were forced to intake the beauty around us. Speaking of which; I'll show you some more right now. Wondering why you're suddenly seeing a mascot head and not mountains? Well, this was an interesting highlight of my trip, to be honest. You never know who you're going to meet on these trips, and I met an advanced engineer who designs mascot heads and travels to conventions for a living. I didn't ask how he managed to make money doing this, but the mascot head itself was gorgeous and very complex on the inside. Over 640 parts went into it and on top of explaining how the mechanics of it worked, the guy also had some great stories from his times at different conventions and shows. I listened to him for 3-4 hours as the train rolled through the mountains, taking more photos along the way.
