Nicole V In The City San Francisco Style

                Nicole V In The City, San Francisco Style

    
    My second train ride adventure was just this past Summer in June. I decided to hop on a different train this time and take the Capitol Corridor that goes from Sacramento Valley Station to different stops on the outskirts of San Francisco California.  This specific train will take you as far as San Jose, California.  I went to Emeryville, which was about thirty minutes outside of San Francisco. to visit one of my cousins who lives right in the heart of the "foggy city." 

I arrived in Emeryville, on a Friday afternoon after a three hour excursion.  I always have great moments while traveling to my destinations via train. Amtrak.com does a fabulous job of making train riders feel comfortable.  So much to see, from bridges that cross and give access into San Fran. To the water that shines so beautifully all around.  Such lovely moments I take away each time I travel this way. The first evening I was there, my cousin and I went to a comedy show at cobbscomedy.com and had a total blast. We had such belly laughs from all the comedians that performed. I remember thinking after the show while waiting for Uber.com to pick us up what a difference the weather makes from the nice warm sunshine in the daytime.  By night, the cold drops 50 degrees. 

 
That's one of the thing that amazes me about San Francisco.  Even in June it still stays pretty cold there.  That's definitely a little too cold for me.  Yet there is still a magic that San Francisco captures unlike other cities.  Since I understand the culture of Los Angeles, I can respect the assortment and diversity that lives right in the heart of San Francisco.  All the little cities within the city itself all collectively offer something refreshing and unique.  Each time I go to S.F. I feel it's not enough time to do the things I want to do.  My train ride home was bitter sweet as I rode back to Sacramento/Chico, thinking about how there is some great energy that comes from that city.  I look forward to my next train ride excursion to explore San Francisco some more.

                              Nicole V. In The City Train Ride Adventures I wanted to share my love for traveling by train and the wonderful experiences I have had along the way.  Especially over the past two years. The first time I ever took a train ride was back east from NYC to New Jersey in 2009.   Talk about an adventure.  Lately, I have used www.amtrak.com from point A to B.  It's a whole different vibe compared to flying or driving.  All the train traveler pals I have met and we all agree, the train offers a more behind the scenes experience.  I always feel like I'm on a ride at an amusement park. The sounds of the train have such unique signature, audio, that as a train traveler, warms my heart each and every time. Incomparable views. Dining cars, snack cars.  To the observation car.  Such a different, exciting way to travel by far for me. As op...

  My late husband and I had a lot of things in common.  One of my favorites was we had a thing for trains.  He especially loved trains.  I think if he could, he would have had a whole room in our home, dedicated to trains.  I didn't mind this hobby at all.  I even bought him one year  for Christmas  a round train track that went around our small Christmas tree.  I thought it was pretty cute.  Before my husband had passed away, he had told me about this  amtrak.com  train ride that goes from Los Angeles to Seattle.  It was a thirty four hour train ride.  I thought it that would be loads of fun.  I real train ride excursion.   He was not able to take this specific train ride, so for the first birthday I had without him, to celebrate him,  I decided to go on this train ride.  I went from downtown Los Angeles, from  unionstationla.com  to  cityofsacramento.gov/valley-station   I had...
