So, here I am in Allegan,MI after the slowest Amtrak ride ever. Seems it was the little train that could and at one point when I heard them announce that we were stopped because they were needing to build a path for the train....all I could do was laugh. It seemed like a comedy of errors ranging from that to having to pull the train off the tracks at one point because they suddenly realised that another train was coming the other way. I kid you not. A 3 hour trip ended up taking around 5 1/2...but, a little nap, a little writing, a little chatting, a little texting, a little looking out the window and realizing that I could have jogged faster than the train was going...and I was here.
Its definately a nice relaxed space up here overlooking this body of unknown water and I am off to explore the town before my first session. Woohoo....bring it on!! Totally excited by it.

That "body of unknown water" is the Kalamazoo River, but you've certainly learned that by now. I didn't know Amtrak went to Allegan now; I figured Kalamazoo was the closest you'd get.
I grew up there, and still have lots of family in the area, but haven't lived there since 1975 or so.
