Err.. I had hoped they would destroy it but...

You're naive.

What do you think cops do with drugs the seize?

Sure, they destroy some for PR reasons, but they have some fun with a little bit of it too.

There goes my last bit of confidence in the police and custom services...

They're human. It's not like they're really hurting anyone but themselves. Getting a little high does not affect public safety.

If anything, when they smoke weed they get the pot paranoia and would think everyone's a potential terrorist, so they'll check more thoroughly.

It would just take a long time.

Well if they are doing their work while being high.... then that is a threat to public safety.

Only if the people going through the border checkpoint have food in their car.

Another funny thing that I remember about this journey is that there was this ginger dyed Floridian woman in her 50's sitting the other side of the carriage. She was so loud and annoying that everyone turned around when she spoke. On one occasion I remember her saying that she was a psychic and that she could read the other passengers' minds . There were 4 of us in the group and we were thanking the fact that we were getting off at Plattsburgh so that we could escape her. What we didn't realise was that she and her husband were getting off at Plattsburgh too.

After the trip into Plattsburgh, we decided to make our way back to the station to wait for the train. Ginger Floridian and her husband (who couldn't stop farting) were there waiting for us in the waiting room. We almost cried.

Rail Away- Washington State/USA.

Serie documentaires over markante spoorlijnen overal ter wereld. We vertrekken vanuit Olympia in Washington. We volgen de kust om uiteindelijk via Seattle bij de San Juan-eilanden uit te komen.

I really appreciate those AMTRAK-trains. The Acela seems to be a bit of a joke though compared to the ICE or the TGV. But we should take a good look at services like the Adirondack and similar long-distance services in the U.S and Canada. And- where possible: the European service should be HST.
