Apr. 25th, 2013 04:08 pmOn Tuesday I went into the city to see my friend Allicia, who is moving to Indonesia in about a week (and neglected to tell any of her friends).
Getting there was a challenge. I had decided to park at the bus station, which has free parking. Plus I'd get the bonus of the bus lanes which get to bypass rush hour traffic. But there wasn't a single spot left in the entire parking garage. Instead I had to drive out to the metro station and park there.
Of course my luck, the first 2 garages were full.But the 3rd one was still letting people in. I circled and circled the garage, quickly realizing this one was full too, and metro incompetence had struck again. In order to leave the garage, I would have had to pay the daily parking fee. Even though I didn't park! I refused to reward metro for their bad behavior so I circled around and around (for 20 minutes!) until someone left and I was able to take their spot. Madness.
Once I got on the train, it wasn't bad at all. No delays.
Allicia and I met up at a mexican place where we ate too many churros. It was fun and I'm sad she is leaving and didn't think to tell anyone. Hopefully it won't be forever!
After lunch, we walked back to the metro station. We took a slight detour to see the washpo peep dioramas.They were very cute.
The ride home was uneventful and there was minimal traffic. I was super tired though. I'm not used to getting out of the house!
