Downtown LA has a huge variety of things to do, and unfortunately, we only barely got to any significant portion of everything this amazing city has to offer. I will definitely be going back however, the roommates want to do a Saturday just for LA itself. While I did get a lot of shots of the usual buildings and scenes, I’ll to post something more unique here.
Passengers shuffle down from an upper level into the main part of Los Angeles Union Station, a massive hub of Metrolink, Amtrak, light rail, subway, and buses.
Skateboarders of the inner city.
A bum naps in MacArthur Park. Now I know why it’s frightening in the dark….

I have to say, for all its hard reputation, Los Angeles had some very friendly people. Noting we looked a little lost downtown, a random guy crossed a busy street just to ask us if we were looking for the metro, and then pointing it out to us before crossing back. A grungy adolescent in a corner of the subway politely suggested an alternate route when he overheard us discussing the next stop at which we wanted to get out. On the bus, a Mexican man who didn’t speak a word of English struck up a lively conversation with us about LA after we helped him out with a quarter to top off his bus fare; fortunately we had Jesus (referring the roommate, not the savior) with us or it would have been awkward… I really need to learn some Spanish.
