Trenton, New Jersey

This was definitely one of the quickest train runs we have done, arriving at 5am just a few hours after we left.

On our first day we went to see 'Night at the Museum II'. It was OK I guess but not worth the $55 for the cab. So we didn't do much else this week just because we are back to an impossible pedestrian area and cab prices where sky high. The train yard was also in the middle of nowhere but it was a very 'green nowhere' which is always nice, but it seemed to result in quite a lot of biting and sucking bugs, not so nice.

The train yard was actually in Pennsylvania and the building was in Trenton New Jersey so we had to go across the most bitter bridge in the world. Maybe there is a meaning behind it that I can't see but every time we crossed it, it just seemed to be shouting that it was mad with the world and so was Trenton. They even lit it up at night just so you couldn't miss it's anger.



I wasn't expecting much from Trenton, I had heard quite a lot of negative stuff about it so was actually quite surprised that it wasn't 'that' bad. But maybe that was just because I expected it to be 'so' bad. It does however seem to have been hit quite hard by the economy with even more boarded up shop windows than most places we have been to so far. We did find quite a nice little play park with a really weird static slide. Half way down you felt all the hairs on your arms go ping and you arrived at the bottom with your hair on end. The second you stepped off it was back to normal. Very weird!



That's about it really, not a lot to write home about.
