Tuesday, July 30, 2019 (continued)
There were so many great photos today that I had to split the day in thirds to correspond to the app.
To catch the bus back to the visitor center, one is treated to a final treasure — the Indoor Roman Pool.
It consists of more than a million Murano glass tiles, some of which contain a layer of gold leaf inside.
The main basin of the pool is 81 ft. long and 10 ft. deep. The pictures tell the story.
On the way back on the bus, we could see the remains of the private zoo that once was located on the grounds.
Back at the visitor center, we bought salads to take with us. We made it back to Enterprise in an hour and the staff generously took us to the train station. (Rental was only $35.) No lunch at the station and a block away I found a small cafe named Sally Loo (my dad called me Sallie Lou - my middle birth name being Louise.) Never seen it before. I bought a made to order sandwich and made it back in time for our train.
We boarded at 3:20 and headed for Los Angeles. We had the comfort seats again and settled in for the 6-hour trip. The scenery along the coast was beautiful and, again, the time flew by.
We ended up eating our prepared salads for dinner, since we weren’t impressed with the dining car food. We arrived in LA around 7:30 and then waited in the station for another train at 10:30 to take us to Anaheim. We made it to the Embassy Suites at 11:30. What a full day!
