We Did It

I don't know why we did it but we spent Saturday on the Phoenix Light Rail. Julie has been following the building and development of the Rail since its beginning. Rides on the rail were free so we decided to ride it - along with thousands and thousands of other people. Were we adventuous? I'd say so. We attempted to wait to get on the rail at Sycamore and Main but the lines were 3 hours long so we took a bus to another station and got on a jam backed section of the train. Talk about being packed in, we were exactly that. You meet all kinds of people. What an experience.

We decided not to ride the rail to the end to Bethany Rd but got off the rail at 3rd and Washington. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves down town with the activities there. We waited in line for almost an hour to catch the rail back to Mesa. I don't know what happened to it. It was suppose to come every 10 or 15 minutes.
Anyway we made it home after standing for many a hour.

Richard wanted to do this also, but I had plans already for Saturday. We are going to try to on on New Year's Eve. That will be the last day to ride it free.
