So this morning I flew to LA to be with my sister. We got to the airport a little earlier than we thought we would so I had about two and a half hours to kill before my plane left. I went to a book store in the airport and bought a book to occupy the time. When it was time to board the plane I obediently got in line and boarded the plane in an orderly fashion. The flight was really good...NO turbulence and it went by so quick! Got off the plane and found my parents waiting for me downstairs.
Came home (aka parent's house) and got in Mom's Jeep and we headed to the park and ride to take the Metro Rail to downtown LA so we could eat lunch with my sister. I was very impressed with the Metro Rail (for those that live in Phoenix the Metro Rail is what the Light Rail is going to be). We transferred to the right bus and made in Downtown no problem.
As we got out of the train station I was on the phone with my sister letting her know where were here. We were getting to the corner. The red hand was flashing but it wasn't solid yet so we decided to cross the street. As I got off the phone I heard a male voice trying to get our attention. I turn my head and I see a cop. He asked us to come over. He asked to see our IDs. He told us that we weren't supposed to cross the street when the red hand flashes, so he wrote us both a citation! Have you ever heard of that?! While we were waiting for him to finish writing the tickets my sister found us...she told us she forgot to warn us. Oh well...so anyone who ever goes to the intersection of 7th St and Figueroa in Downtown LA beware!!! Do not cross unless there is a green man!
So after that ordeal we went to lunch with my sister. It was good to see her. When we were done with lunch we said good bye and got back on the bus and headed back to Whittier.
Whew! I'm tired!!!!
