We had a nice flight down yesterday afternoon and have managed to avoid renting a car. Yeah, even in Los Angeles. It took a few rail connections to get to the hotel by Metro but it can be done. This Ramada is at Santa Monica/Vermont on the red line.
We started the day with a nice breakfast. Then ended back up by Hollywood/Highlands but decided to go backstage at the Kodak Theater when there are fewer crowds and the weekend's over. We also went up to Universal City Walk but didn't go in for the rides as we did that once in Florida. Yeah, I know there are new and more exciting rides now. Then, we used our transit passes, which cost just $14 a week, to go downtown. Just a walk from Union Station there was continuing celebration because of Cinco de Mayo.
We're resting and will be out again after this burning sun sets. I'll mention that in tomorrow's blog entry.
