It used to take 8-10 hrs to get between Madrid & Barcelona. Now, as we zipped along at 290 KPH in one of Spain's high-speed AVE trains, the journey took just a little longer than 3 hrs. As the Spanish landscape rolled by like a film, the dry, dusty plain around Madrid evolved into a Mediterranean coastal hillscape covered with pines and vineyards. Why can't we travel between Portland and Seattle the same way?
Someday we will be able to get from PDX to San Fran in 3hrs. :)
