We have breakfast of French Railway Toast as we cross lake Pontchartrain. its then back the the room for a nap as we travel through Louisiana bayou country. Soon its lunch time where I have Cajun Beef over a bed of rice. Then its back to watching the world go back passing Tuscaloosa in the afternoon and see the destruction of a hurricane, just a couple of weeks ago. Then its time for Dinner of a Flat Iron Steak cook just how i like it We finish just before the stop at Atlanta we are running about 40mins late at this point. The attendant makes up the bunks as it gets dark, drifting off to sleep as I watch the work go by. By the time I wake its time for breakfast where we have French Railway toast again, we also not the train has caught up the lost time and is running ahead of time, we have another nap before arriving in Washington DC early. After claiming our bags we leave them at the luggage locker, and book our selves on a DC Duck tour, having a little time to kill so I have a snack of cookies and a smooth from the station food court. The tour takes in most of the sights around the National Mall, its then time to pick up the car and drive up to Cumberland MD, we stop a couple of times on the way up at some railway times to see whats about, after we arrive and book in we walk to the Crabby Pig in Cumberland where I have 2chicken breast topped with Maryland Lump Crab meat.
