Today D ran the LA Marathon. I will let him write more about that experience. Yesterday the whole family went with him to the LA Convention Center so D could pick up his race bib. There was a Health & Fitness expo geared towards all things running, so we loaded up on samples, including chia drinks/gels, freeze-dried blueberries, pop chips, clif bars, kefir drinks, etc.
Afterward we went to the Grand Central Market, which I had never been to, even though I used to work in downtown L.A.
We shared a bowl of house noodles from China Café, a chicken taco from Tacos Tumbras a Tomas and a pork and cheese pupusa from Sarita’s pupuseria. The prices are quite reasonable compared to the trendy food trucks. The total for our combined lunch was around $11.
Wow, how unappealing does that look? There is also a lot of produce for sale, but we didn’t really browse.
Afterward, we went across the street to ride the Angels Flight Railway, “The Shortest Railway in the World”.
There are two cars, there is no driver, and you pay 50 cents at the top ($1 roundtrip).
At the top there is a nice view of some of the skyscrapers, along with a fancy courtyard with a waterfall.
I would not want to work here.
