Dear Romanians who keep clicking by this blog: are you writers?--do say hello!

Yesterday I researched how to get to Hollywood from Oceanside using public transportation. It's actually not that big a deal, even on Sunday and less so during the week. And for a DC-er like me, even the names are familiar: We can take the train to LA. The train station in LA is called Union Station. The subway system is called the Metro. The line from Union Station to Hollywood is the Red Line. The metrostop closest to Stan Apps house is Vermont Sunset Station. Doubtless it won't work as well as it would in DC, but at least we don't have to drive in.
Getting to Tijuana is also pretty easy: Train to the trolley, trolley to the border. Once in Tijuana, SignOnSanDiego suggests that I engage in some cheap but upscale shopping, dine at Senior Frogs, and visit the wax museum:
"Elvis has been sighted again. This time at the Tijuana Wax Museum with Marilyn Monroe, Christopher Columbus, Jack the Ripper, Pancho Villa, Laurel and Hardy, Dracula and the last of the Aztec emperors. Don't miss the gory, but authentic, Aztec human-sacrifice diorama. Adults will find it horrifying, and kids will love the fact that someone's heart is getting ripped out. "

travel brochures should always be so interesting:

i think all Subways should be called Metros because it is easier to remember than subway. i tend to call them metros or u-bahns.
