Train Across America (4/4)

Train Across America (3/4)

Waking up to cows in the middle of America.

Granola and soy milk (sorry cows) for breakfast.

Another processing plant along the route of the train ride.

An irrigation system that moves across the field. There were many of this along the trip, and they were at least 100 yards long!

The train stop in Boulder, Colorado. We were allowed to walk around the station, and the immediate area looked like an interesting walkable place.

Heading into the Colorado mountains, and a little rainfall.

Rafters going down the Colorado River. There was a group that mooned the train later on (my camera wasn't fast enough though).

At the station in Colorado Springs. It looked like a great place to come and vacation some day. And it's easily accessible by train!

Train Across America (2/4)

Waking up to a graveyard, somewhere in Indiana.

America is full of corn. During the train ride, a good portion of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa were full of corn fields. 

The train station in Chicago.

Stumbling upon Farmer's Market in downtown Chicago.

Stumbling upon the "bean" in Millennial Park.

More Corn.

Sunset in Iowa.

Train Across America (1/4)

Settling in to two seats on a train.

A long bridge somewhere in Philadelphia.

The train station in Baltimore.

A beautiful overcast sky in Baltimore.

An afternoon snack of Apple Sauce. Two People were able to survive on about $55 dollars of food for the duration of 4 days on this train trip.

I believe this is a river somewhere in West Virginia or Pennsylvania.

Sunset on the first day in Pennsylvania.

IDDS Final

All ten groups presented their final ideas today. I'll try and post on that later on. One of the more notable things that happened was a presentation by one of the participants, Suprio Das, who was elected by the rest of us to speak about the experience here at IDDS. I wish to someday be as elegant with words as he is.

IDDS Monday

Today was a work day and ended with Participant Presentations. There were two articles in the Boston Herald on IDDS. One on the $12 Computer the other on Inventions to Save the Day, which includes a photo teammates Bernard and Joshua.
