October Break Sophomore Year

I took the train form Albany to Penn Station. It had rained heavily the night before and it continued to rain while the train chugged down to the city. The rails run along the Hudson the entire two and a half hours all the way to Penn Station, only the last 10 minutes of the ride was underground. Due to the rain, the water seemed incredibly close to the tracks just a meer foot away, in fact a lot of the ride ran along tracks that had water on either side, the rails rested on earth that was dredged up in the middle of the river, it was as if the train was rumbling along the top of the water.

The train stops every half hour, first slowly passing a beautiful run down station with the forest growing out of the roof of the building, then stoping at an ultra modern platform with impatient passengers waiting. And then, it arrives at the metropolitan center of the east coast.

Crammed buildings.

The glow on the street below is the Late Night Show. 

I met up with Dad and Tracy who were having a mini-vacation while getting some stuff done in the city. We had lots of great vegan dinners together and checked out some interesting vegan bakeries. 

Zoë worked hard while I visited and got lots of work done while managing to still spend lots of time with me!

  

I managed to find my train in Penn station and had a pleasant slow ride to Albany. It was just as beautiful on the way back as the way down to the city.

I drove the hour and a half from Albany back to my usual Hartwick chaos.
