Light Rail Adventures

Soooo, it was First Friday in Phoenix and I had a few friends that wanted to go and we wanted to ride the Light Rail to get down there. None of us had taken a ride on it yet and we thought it would be fun so we rode.The ride to Phoenix wasn't bad. It just took forever!! We waited at the first stop for about 10 minutes and then for there it wasn't so bad. Problem: we got to Phoenix at 9:54pm and the last rail goes back to Mesa at 10:45. It took us 15 minutes to walk anywhere to see any art and then we had to turn back to catch the light rail. So, a whirlwind tour of some artist tents and then we were on our way back to catch the rail. Let me tell you, the ride home was my favorite part of the night. We are waiting on the platform and the light rail rolls up and it is packed with people and no one is getting off. so we just have to smash in like sardines with everyone else and it. was. fabulous. At every stop it was like a puzzle to see if we could fit anymore people in our car. I had a death grip on the bar since there were no seats and tried to take some pictures. They are a bit blurry, but were were moving and crammed in pretty tight.





Thanks for a fun night girls!! We should do it again next month... only leave a little earlier and be in costume. Biker gang? Super hipsters? Goth? Homemade knit wears? The Cure? Think about it...
