We have completed our transcontinental railway journey, from sea to shining sea (though we haven\u2019t yet <em>seen<\/em> the sea on this side of the continent yet, we expect we probably will soon). We left Chicago yesterday evening on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amtrak.com\/lake-shore-limited-train\">Amtrak Lake Shore Limited<\/a>, slept through Indiana (my apologies to my Indiana relatives), woke up midway through Ohio, got a brief glimpse of Pennsylvania, and then worked our way down the Hudson River until ending in NYC. Our hotel is less than half a mile from the train station, so we decided to walk (in hindsight, perhaps a minor miscalculation in 72\u00b0 weather, but we made it), and the first thing we saw outside of the train station was Madison Square Garden. Now we\u2019re enjoying relaxing in our hotel room (for all people chatter about tiny NYC hotel rooms, first, this isn\u2019t <em>that<\/em> much smaller than most hotel rooms I\u2019m used to, and second, three nights in an Amtrak sleeping cabin make this look positively palatial). The adventure continues!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0457-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"The outside of Madison Square Garden, a large, round, tan colored stadium.
