London Square Amtrak Station: Kazue Iguchi, 20 (left) and Chiho
Torii, 19 (right) of Washington are on their way to Grand Canyon,
Arizona. Originally, both of them are from Saitama, Japan.
Currently, they are studying economics at Eastern Washington
University. For summer vacation, Kazue says, "I want to travel
as many places as possible." From Washington, they have stopped
in Oakland and stayed one night, and when this picture was taken
they are waiting to go to Los Angeles, on their way to their final
destination, the Grand Canyon in Arizona. This morning,
unfortunately, there was an automobile accident in between Davis and
Martinez, delaying trains about 2-3 hours. Kazue and Chiho are the
one of many victims. When I shot this picture, they were so happy to
see their train arriving.
