I went downtown to feel urban for the day. Hung out at the central library, pershing square, broadway historic core, and then had lunch at this cute nostalgic place called Clifton’s.

I went on a dull day trip on the train to check out Santa Clarita in the valley. I did not take any pictures except of the train and union station. That should tell you how cookie-cutter and suburban the area was.
