On my way to the train station I got the thought that it might be smart to pay a little extra today for a first class seat. That turned out to be correct, because the train is very busy today. Most seats in the second class, where I usually sit, are filled. I’m enjoying sitting on one of the bigger red chairs in the first class. I listen to some old music, something like Buena Vista Social club, have a book on the table in front of me and just wrote for a while in my journal. It feels luxery and special to sit here and I surely enjoy it. I don’t take it for granted and know that it’s a privilege that I have this opportunity. I love traveling by train and this makes it even more enjoyable. There is something peaceful about sitting back, looking out of the window and seeing different landscapes passing by. I think back of how I rode with a steam train in America a few years ago and what an experience that was. I hope to take more special train rides in the future.
