after that 10-hr amtrak trip from fortuna (few miles away from eureka) to san francisco, i realize that America's train system sucks.
just for me to go to san francisco, they require 10 hours of my time. i leave fortuna at 7am, take a thruway bus that picks up passengers on almost every exit, and reach martinez 1.20pm. i wait until 3pm to take the train. i get on the train for 20mins, get off at emeryville. and take another bus that brings us to san francisco!
now tell me, who would enjoy that trip when you could travel straight 5 hours by car? just imagine the time i could've saved!
i am not complaining, though. =D it's just that i didn't have another option to get back home. and Uncle Sam ought to do something about the railroad system. am just glad that i had a blast in the redwood country!
