it was another sunny summer day as October arrived. here is tony and i trying to find some shade while waiting for the bus. and yes, that is my first bus pass. it is the EZ Pass which can be used on 12 different bus lines in the LA area. i know, most of you did not know there was one bus line in LA. i think it is a good deal at $70. i will let you know if it was worth it at the end of the month. today i rode three buses after buying it...to the gym, from the gym, and back from the beach after walking there for a nice sunset. that was $2.25 that i did not have to shell out. in fact i walked to the beach with only my camera, tony and my bus pass. it felt good not to be carrying my backpack. sometimes less is really more.
4 palms at sunset...ok, 3 palms and one telephone pole
and by chance, (big small world), i met a young Japanese student from Hirano which is in Osaka... my home away from home.
here is Tony with Chika. she had just come from her English class (English as a Second Language). and yes, Chika is pronounced the same as chica. Chika es una chica. Chika wa chica desu. ちかはチカです。she will stay thru december.
good luck/buena suerte/ganbatte/がんばって!
