Rail travel has a certain nostalgic quality to it.
The average Via Rail trip might be far from glamourous, but taking a train in some far-off place is an experience unto itself. I lay in my hammock and glanced along the beach in the direction of the sea-turtle museum. If this were a brief vacation, I'd rush to visit the museum. Short vacations create in me a need to cram in as many new experiences as possible. However, three weeks stretched, and my intention was to log as many hammock hours as possible.
