9.00-9.30 AM; the California Zephyr from Denver to Chicago

As the train was scheduled to arrive in Chicago early afternoon, we had prepared to have a big brunch to cover for both breakfast and lunch. We slightly overdid it. We ate:

• 4 kiwis
• 2 bananas
• 1 orange
• sour-dough bread
• olive spread
• 6 fudge brownies
• roasted and salted pumpkin seeds
• San Pellegrino water

and still had left over:

• tortilla chips
• peanut butter
• a trail mix bag (nuts & dried fruit)

This turned out fine, as the train ultimately arrived in Chicago three hours late.
