We're traveling again - taking the train from Saskatoon to Vancouver (VIA Rail) and then down to Santa Barbara on Amtrak. Apart from being two hours late leaving Saskatoon, the train ride was good. I enjoy the slow pace on the train and watching the scenery go by. Despite running late and trying to catch up, we had enough time in Jasper to go for a walk and find a decent coffee. Our usual spot, Cocos Cafe was closed but the SnowDome was open (in the basement with the laundromat!)
The fall colors were nice.
We made up time across BC during the night and arrived close to on time. We stayed overnight in Vancouver since it's not a good idea to plan tight connections when traveling by train! Crossing Stanley Park we got caught in a downpour and resorted to taking a taxi. After lunch at the Sylvia Hotel overlooking the ocean, we spent a few hours at the aquarium, avoiding the big lineup (in the rain) by buying a membership. (Which I usually do anyway, mostly as a way to support them, since we don't get there very often.)
