I didn't realize that you need to quote things in order otherwise they just insert them in the order you choose, so if you go back and quote something it's out of order. I've had to kind of reorganize this post so it makes sense!
Don't worry! I have done that in the past as well...
I've seen this stream of pedestrians heading towards the park and I can see why it would seem like Salmon swimming upstream to run through them.
I think 20 minutes later it would not have been possible to run anymore. But I just managed to be early enough!
I notice this all the time when driving around So Cal. It used to surprise me how many people were hit in crosswalks, but now I just shake my head. teen and twenty somethings just walk around with their heads in in their phones and don't pay attention to what is going on around them.
I might do that now and then myself...
Very bad habit, I know...
Definitely not in So Cal. However, guys, might want to shower before visiting Starbucks if they have been heavily exerting themselves. Women, not so much.
They always get my name wrong too. But I remember in Miami they had the labels because
@Leshaface totally read my label and I didn't even realize it!
I actually adopted a "Starbucks name" that is easier to spell.
Well, they manage to get that wrong, too. But at least I don't mind it as much as it is not my real name.
Having been raised in California, I never considered the company "adobe" in fact those tile/bricks are things we tried to build as kids! Never would have considered the software!
I had never heard the word "adobe" used with regard to houses until the 2005 trip to California when my friend and I visited
El Pueblo De Los Angeles in Downtown Los Angeles. We had no clue what "adobe" was even referring to. I think it was not until Santa Barbara that we finally figured out that these were the bricks!
This was actually a great idea!
It saved Michael some money!
Pitchers of Margaritas are never a bad thing!
Ok, I always thought cocktails in pitchers might be a sign of lower quality. But I guess I am learning that these prejudices don't apply in the US!
Mexican food here can be hit or miss, but glad this was a hit. I can see where it can be a miss in Miami. Sometimes here, it can suck. We know most of the places where it doesn't suck. And then there is fast food. In a pinch, Del Taco is OK, we had that yesterday.
We had Del Taco during our travels!!
I liked the Mission Grill better. But as you say, in a pinch it is ok.
I'm glad you finally got your SIM. Of course you had traffic, it's alwarys here especially back from SD.
I really love Southern California. I was surprised how much I liked it when I first visited Los Angels in 2005 (the first trip to
Disneyland does not really count as we just saw Disneyland and Universal Studios and Orange County Airport). But I am not sure I ever could live there as the traffic would drive me nuts! I guess the same rule applies that I have decided on for London: Living there is only really enjoyable if one either has lots of time or lots of money, but preferably both.
Yeah, like Michael said, they probably had it all rigged with photographer on each side. I bet they were train buffs and wanted the train action in their wedding photo
I was thinking it might have been something that I read about here on the DIS wedding forum which I stalked when my sister was getting married and I was looking for wedding ideas when I helped her organize her wedding. I think it is called a "staged reveal" and instead of the groom saying the bride the first time at the altar, they meet up beforehand with the photographers documenting the moment the groom first sees the bride in a private setting. This definitely looked like that that was what they were going for. At least in the pictures...
