Today all transit was free, the way it always should be! The air quality district foots the bill for what the estimate are the worst air quality days in order to get people out of their cars and onto transit. There are a few more people that ride, like us. Though we just go on excursions since we really don't have a destination.
We were out and about rather ate in the morning, like just before noon. We stopped for "breakfast" at the Hong Kong bakery then walked the two blocks to the light rail station in Mountain View. That line goes to downtown Campbell. From downtown San Jose it's a new line to Campbell which we hadn't yet been on. We got off at the Hamilton Avenue Station. It was a short walk over to Bascom Avenue where the Rasputin's book store is located. Dawn likes the place. The have used and new books and lots that just are not available at the best seller stores. Dawn was extremely happy when they open a branch in Mountain View. Wait, didn't we start near there? Used book stores always have different and unusual stock so they aren't the same.
We then headed back toward Home. Lou and Dawn had an appointment in Menlo Park at 5:15 so we picked up some Gyros for a quick dinner.
City life can be interesting.
