Today I was heading to St. Louis. After a nice diner brunch with Sarah, I took the Van Gelder bus from Madison to Chicago. This bus was a lot nicer than Jefferson Bus and the driver didn't get lost. After a four hour trip, I had just under four hours wait in Chicago's Union Station. When you are carrying four bags on your own, doing anything is quite difficult. Luckily they had some lockers there so I was able to easily get some food and use the bathroom without dragging all my bags with me.
I joined the huge queue for my train at 6.20pm. I had never been on an amtrak train before. It was way better than the bus (and a lot cheaper). There was a lot of space, pull down tables and socket outlets at every seat. I mostly watched movies on the trip so it went by very quickly. I arrived to St. Louis where I met Amelia. We went to her place, where there was a "man cave" for me to sleep in in the basement.
