Today I had to go in to LA for a meeting so I decided to take the train. It was an interesting adventure. The first stop was the ticket machine. There was no real sign on how to get started, just some buttons. I had to ask the person next to me what to do. Little did I know that the screen lit up when you pressed any button. Once there was something on the screen, I realized it was a touch screen and the choices were simple.<\/p>\n

The meeting went well and I had time to get something to eat. A quick walk across the street from Union Station is Olvera Street. I have eaten at Roldolf\u2019s on Olvera Street before so I know where to go. Breakfast was over, but they let me choose off the breakfast menu so I had Machaca.<\/p>\n

The food was good and watching the tourists and school children pass by was entertaining. I looked back on a time when I was in the LA area and Eric had a field trip to Olvera Street. To his surprise I met him there. As I finished up lunch I had a small visitor.<\/p>\n

It was then back to Union Station to board the train for the return trip. Overall, it was much easier than driving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
