If the Pasadena Gold Line passengers catch the later train, we'll be there around 10:20, but please plan on us arriving earlier. Plan on meeting in the main hall of Union Station. Keep your eyes open for haiku opportunities.
10:30 a.m. - Walk to Olvera Street. Pay attention to the sounds, the smells, in addition to what you see.
