VIDEO OBSERVER by Emerson Little Come On & Take a Free Ride!

Like most Fullerton residents, my family recently received a flyer on our front door from Metrolink, which we could use to claim two free train tickets and either travel north from the Fullerton train depot to Union Station in Los Angeles or south as far as Oceanside. In order to receive the free passes, we entered a code from the bottom of the flyer online, waited for an email to confirm our order, then the tickets were mailed to my fami - ly’s house. We decided to take the train north to Los Angeles. I thought it would be a good idea to make a video of the trip. On the day we decided to use the passes, my family visited the Fullerton Train Station, and slipped the free tickets into a Metrolink ticket machine that stamped them with a date. After we departed from Fullerton, we rode to Union Station. My family walked to the central part of the station, which is often used in commercials and movies, then took a brief stroll through nearby Olvera Street, where we discovered a Mexican- American museum. From the upstairs of the museum, I could see all of Olvera Street, along with a mural at the top of a build - ing, titled America Tropical by Siqueiros. Up and down the street, vendors in little stands sold leather products and other merchandise. The Chinese-American museum was within walk - ing distance, just across the courtyard from the main part of Olvera Street. Inside, my family and I saw the history of Chinese immigrants in America. Upstairs had artifacts that were saved from early Chinatown and the downtown Los Angeles area. At the Next, we hopped on the Metro Goldline to Chinatown.

Fullerton residents Jerry and Pearl Mann, shown at right, are at the upper complex of the Inca hydrologic ruins of Tipon, east of Cusco in the Andean highlands of Peru. The site contains enclo - sures, terraces and four water - falls that still run down the mountain in intact canals. “We visited Tipon after 2 challenging days of hiking at Machu Picchu,” says Pearl. “The amazing water system, still in use since the 1200s or earlier, was amazing. None of the stone walls and canal wall have any mortar on them - stones were cut to fit perfectly to the surrounding stones. After we returned home I read that to fight the current drought in Peru, the country is going to start using the active Inca systems of collect - ing water from the top of the Andes for use in modern com - munities. “
