#lessons continue from the #bike and #train trip:

3. Unlike plane travel, train travel (for me) includes A TON MORE CONVERSATIONS with strangers. I ended up in a long conversation waiting for the train with a fellow waiting for his commuter bus before I had even left, where he saw I was on a bike trip and talked about how much he loved bikes, how addictive it was, and his recent bicycling trip up and down the Ventura River trail (the bike path between Ventura, California and Ojai, California). He told me HOW MUCH he loved that trail, and how they have paved it, and how many times he has gone up and down it.

Then, on the train up, got the life story of another guy with a bike...
