A day of Packed Adventure

Big day today.
Joe Photo asked me to go shoot with the Day Tripping Club with the B School.
I went on a morning bike ride to get my creativity flowing for the photo day in downtown LA. After riding around, I got a flat 100 feet away from my house. Could be better, could be worse.
I thought about taking the train to Union Station, but by the time I got to the train station and waited for the train, I could already be at Union Station in my car. And I kind of wanted to go shoe shopping....

I get to Union Station, and my friend and long time classmate, Netanya, saw me from across the crowd. She said she noticed me by my "jovial walk." I have been hearing people tell me this for the past few days. Maybe it is because I don't think about being on time. I don't know, I guess I am a walk 'n stroller.

The group was pretty big. 16 people from all over Southern California tend to attract attention where ever they go. Kind of like the Spartans. If you stand up next to an orange wall with a green checkered hat and say "I am the greatest model you have ever seen," 16 people will take your picture all at once.
We walked from Union Station, to Olvera Street, to Little Tokyo, to the Disney Hall, to somewhere else, and ended up at Market Street and took the subway back to Union Station. Subway? Yes and who knew LA had one. Not me, so it was my first time.

At the end of the day, I was kind of tired, but not tired enough to go shoe shopping. I went to the fashion district. Walked in wanting a pair of shoes. Walked out with a pair of shoes, and three suits.
