Went to San Pedro today to pick up a certain kid's DVD from the branch library there and took the opportunity to ride the--wait for it--Port of Los Angeles Waterfront Red Car Line {inhale}, which is a rescued and refurbished Pacific Electric Red Car that runs for four pointless but entirely charming stops along the main harbor of Los Angeles.
The fare is only $1 for grownups and free for anyone under 12, and you can ride all day once you pay up. Sights along the way include big big cruise ships, a fountain, several statues, a museum and L.A. County fireboats. Good stuff.

| I told him he had to take out his binky for this picture, and he went for it. This is the southern terminus of the line, which has a nice spacious parking lot next to a fairly new and attractive park. |
