The part you get to hear is that we took the girls for a ride on a narrow gauge steam train for their birthday. There’s some backstory as to why, which involves a very long and, while they don’t know it yet, probably never-ending, story about two girls not unlike them. But also not entirely like them. Suffice to say that the train fits into that story in ways that I will not go into here.</p> +<p>I suppose I could just be like most people, and just tell you we went on the narrow gauge railway from Durango to Silverton. It’s a common enough thing to do around these parts. It draws tourists from all over (one of whom I watched doing their YouTube review right after they got of the train which, while I know is a thing some travelers do, is still so weird to me that I can’t help staring — why are you talking to your phone?) and I still remember it from when I did it as a kid. </p> +<div class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"

The only problem was that we don’t have hookups here and we don’t have an inverter. About 99 percent of the time that doesn’t matter, but today it did. Fortunately the camp hosts, whom we’d made friends with, offered to let us make waffles at their RV.
