After breakfast this morning we drove down to the Rail Station for our 8:30 rail express ride. We were a little early so we stopped at Dinkin Donuts for a small black coffee and a glazed donut. We checked in at 8:15 and were surprised to see around 40 people there. A medical group from Fall River were having a group outing today. We launched promptly at 8:30 after some safety talk from Trey our rail guide. Pedaling was surprisingly easy. Once the car was rolling along there was no effort to keep it moving. We had lots of fun doing this as we clicked and clacked down the track. The ride along the bay was scenic as we crossed a few rail crossings that had cars traveling the road crossings. One crossing had a live person, a second crossing was an automatic one with flashing lights and clanging bell. We were each a few hundred feet apart. We stopped 3 miles down the track to rest on chairs and benches while the staff turned the carts around using a hydraulic mechanism. We seemed to get back faster than going down. The whole thing took just under 2 hours and was a lot of fun.
Next stop was the bank to drop off a signature card then we stopped at the apt to download pics a little before going over to Brookdale for lunch at noon.
Lunch was another birthday celebration. The entire staff came out to sing happy birthday while they brought out a cake with candles. George blew them all out pretty well. He's amazingly in great physical shape. After lunch we went back to the apt to rest before the 5 PM dinner again at Brookdale. I had the seafood salad and a cranapple crisp for dessert. Libbie said this was their worst effort to date. I lucked out with the seafood salad. It was actually good. After dinner we were going to go to Barb's but she couldn;t move so she called us off. She's not in great shape.
Back at the apt we walked to the waterfront and watched the sunset for a while before gooing back to pack.
