Adventure # 5- The Runaway


Me at the Iliad Bookstore


I ran away this weekend.


All by myself. I drove a car (not a minivan) to L.A..



 I visited a museum that my family would tolerate but I loved. I teared up in while touring the photography exhibit and I didn't have to defend myself to anyone or judge them for not being affected as I was.

 I got sick. I deviated from my plan.

I got lost. I drove around a lot. I chose to look at it as a driving tour of L.A. because I accidentally saw a lot of interesting places.

 I ate Mediterranean food. Yum!

 I slept in a hotel room all alone. I woke up every hour during the night. Miserable.

I visited The Grove a.k.a Disneyland for those in need of retail therapy. Seriously, music in the streets and a trolley to boot. I wandered around shops. I gasped at price tags. I bought cute clothes (across the street.)

 I perused a book store that had a one eyed cat sleeping on the counter. Reminded me of our local airport.

The Getty Museum
I took my time. It was very quiet. I don't think it suits me. I had fun. I did a lot of things I've never done before and learned a lot about myself.

I'm glad I was a runaway but only for a day.

There's no place like home.
