MARTINSBURG, W. Va. – I never really have been much of a country boy. I was born and raised in one big city, then went to college in another and still live there. I prefer carrying an iPod and a subway pass to a fife and a fiddle.
But the scenery as we’ve rolled through West Virginia has been really pretty. In addition to passing by a number of farms, the train literally rolled straight from a bridge over the Potomac River into the Harper’s Ferry station. Here’s what it looked like:
I’m on a really slow aircard connection, so I won’t be able to upload too many photos until we get close to Pittsburgh late tonight. And I won’t be up too late after that, because the U.S. women’s national soccer team plays at 7:30 a.m. Eastern/6:30 a.m. Central tomorrow and I plan to be watching or at least following along somehow as the game happens.
So now I’m off to dinner, and I’m taking the camera with me. Hopefully the food will be worth photographing.
