Long hiatus from blogging. Just didn't have much new to report... I went to the Sacramento Jazz festival this weekend, and spent the whole time in the Old Town venues. Instead of driving, we took Amtrak from Martinez to Sacramento, and got a different perspective from driving. I like how trains travel along historical right of ways, and that the freeway isn't always visible. Trains have lost much of their importance and Amtrak isn't a cheaper way to travel. They gouged me with $32 round trip tickets. But it is a relaxing way to travel, and just as fast as driving. I wish this country could get its act together on having better public transportation. European countries are so interconnected by trains and our states are interconnected by highways. 8:57:41 AM
