A Day at Work

I've been meaning to blog about work for the longest time ever. Well finally I have! This is me at the Main office on Cherry/Anaheim in the Telephone Info Center getting customers from point A to point B on the buses.

This is the Downtown Long Beach Information Center. There are 3 windows for transit information and 1 for visitor information. It's a brand new state of the art building.

I caught a picture of Phillip the vistor information clerk. He's standing outside and ready to approach visitors of our beautiful city.

There's Mickey helping a customer with transit info.

 Heres the transit guide racks!

We also have a "touch" kiosk that will display information and it has a "plan your trip" button as well.

The old Security Bank that houses offices and The Madison Restaurant below. I love this historical building!

Named after our old Cheif Operating Officer who recently retired.

My view down Pine Street. I can see LOpera, Alegria, and George's restaurants.  And lots of fashionable people walk by.

I just love these two paintings that they put in our building depecting Zeus and Athena "waterpolo themed at the Belmont Pool".

The Metro Blue Line going by.

The new Bicycle Station. You can park your bike for free for the day and rent a bike too.

Behind the bike station is this really cute park.

This little Ampetheatre were sometimes bands play at in the park.

There is water streaming down the ampetheatre. Pretty neat!

This iron fence has these cute little birds on it. Loves it...

This looks like airplane windows. Interesting...

Cute little fish squirting out water at some of the Lofts there.

I love these random mosaics they put in all around the bus terminals.

Sea creatures or eels?

Crab.

Also, there are these random shells they put in some places! I love anything from the Sea.

The bus terminals display LIVE departure times. Very state of the art. I hope you enjoyed a day at work with me!!

AquaLink Boat adventure

One thing I wanted to do before summer ended was go on a boat ride. So Iris, Toni and I did just that and took a ride around the Long Beach Harbor on the Aqualink. It was a warm evening but the girls had their jackets and I brought my blanket just in case it got too cold.

Leaving Alamitos Bay Landing. Bye!

Hey girls! You all ready?!

It was perfect weather so far and we were going to see the sunset.

A great view! Nothing but ocean as far as the eyes could see...

Get your camera ready!

 Trying to take a pic of us both but missed by a hair or two. LOL!

Belmont Pier. A new stop.

Leaving the pier. I love how the sun is about to set.

There were many pelicans diving into the water.

Ah such a beautiful sight...

The Queen...Mary.

We were having a blast!

The lighthouse.

One last shot before the sun goes down. This was a great time!

Family Reunion(Mexico)

About a week ago my mom and I went to visit my grandmother and all of the family.

This is not even everyone! That is my grandmother sitting next to my mom. My mom is the oldest of her siblings, she has 10.

This is my Aunt Karla (who by the way is 1 year younger than me), my cousin Fernanda, and me!

It was cool hanging out with them after so many years. Last time I was there was in 2006. I'm drinking a beer with my familia! LOL!

I am the oldest cousin and this is the youngest, his name is Santiago.

These two are my cousins. Brianna and Monserat. I used to take care of Brianna as a baby. Now she's all grown up!

I had a blast over there!

Elise's Tea Room

Saturday the girls and I went over to have some tea at Elise's Tea Room. I was very impressed.

I ordered the Red Currant tea. It was so delicious! I loved that you get your own little pot of tea!

I ordered the Tea Sampler that came with 3 different kinds of dainty sandwiches, I ordered the chive and cream cheese, cucumber, and egg salad. My fave was the chive and cream cheese! It also came with a scone, I chose strawberry and a dessert, which was a tier layered fruit, whipped cream, and white cake. YUM!

Iris, Amy and Felicia looking fabulous!

I just love chandiliers!

Cute!

 Say Tea!

Can't wait to come back next month!

Famous Daves

Well tonight some co-workers and I were supposed to go to Famous Daves to have our monthly Front Line Service Star meeting. They treat us which is cool. Only thing was 2 girls dropped out, needless to say it was just Edna and I. The other thing was it started at 5:30 and I get off at 6:00 so by the time we got there everyone was served and there was no place to sit! Damn. So we hit the bar...

I had $ for 1 drink, so I made it a good one! I tried the Mama's Punch. It was good! It was a punch some Disarrono and sweet and sour and grenadine. Good stuff! I made it last.

Got to come back and try some BBQ!

They have some cool decor!

I could smell the BBQ. I'll come back very soon!
