Chama New Mexico day 7

Rise and shine! 

NOT!!! 
Our wake up call was from my dad at 3am wanting to see if we wanted to look at the stars. At first I wanted to ignore him but my sister and I decided to take a look. We noticed that our parents left so we decided to stand in the parking lot and look up at all the millions of stars. We even had a clear view of the Milky Way! I can't believe how many stars you can see out here. Obviously nothing you can ever witness in the city.

We went back in our room and fell back asleep. My dad ended up waking us up again at 7 and I was so tired I felt like I had a hangover. I need my sleep. We took the kids to eat breakfast and headed to the train station to wait to board the train.

We rode the train for 2 hours through the country mountains

then stopped off at a place in the middle of know where and ate a buffet lunch. 

There wasn't anything there except eat so once we were done we got back on the train for another 2 hours through the mountains. As we were leaving it started raining. Of coarse! I love how scenic the train ride is. Your deep in the high mountains, going through tunnels, crossing over bridges that are hundreds of feet over roaring rapids and the sight of wild animals. It makes for a great train ride!

We arrived at our last stop to hop on a bus to head right back to where we started. It was a good 45 minute ride back but we were much more comfortable. I loved seeing the cows roam free. They were right on the side of the road hanging out. We went to dinner and now were back in the hotel getting ready for bed. We will be heading home tomorrow and will be on the road for 13 hours. Grrrrr... We packed in a lot of activities in a short period of time and it was all worth it!

Good night from Chama! See you tomorrow!
