Wednesday

of the time in high school when I took a Greyhound bus from Miami to LA (I was young enough to withstand three days and three nights on that bus! ). My boyfriend out there drove me up through Griffith Park to the observatory, then put his hands over my eyes, led me to the front of the observatory, removed his hands...
What a sight! Miles of the valley were lit up like a glittering constellation!
