What in tarnation?! We left sunshine and palm trees the day before and woke up to this! We didn't know where we were but it must have been in southern Oregon.
I don't remember what we had for breakfast but it must have been edible. Dinner on this night was better than the night before. The two women at our table remarked on the grumpy waiters.
When we got to Eugene, Oregon we half wondered if we'd see Glenn's son and wife at the station. It's just as well they didn't show up because it was cold and horrible out and by the time the train stopped, our car was far beyond the station.

Our compartment on the train was not bad. It wasn't as large as the one we had on the Via Canadian train, but it was bigger than we had years ago when we travelled on Amtrak from San Francisco to Seattle. The bathroom
with shower is behind that door in the bottom right picture. It was like one of those Greek bathrooms where you shower and the whole room gets wet, except in this case the room was tiny and the shower was just a hand held model.
By the time we reached Portland we were back to sunshine. I didn't take any photos because we've done the trip between Eugene and Seattle a few times before.
