Los Angeles - Day 7 - Pasadena - The arboretum

Pasadena was kind of like Karaj (a city near Tehran). The atmosphere was exactly like that. I lost my path there because the schedule system in Bing and Metro websites was not correct. There supposed to be a stop there, but it was not. I searched every corner of that street, but I couldn't find it. It really sucked without Google maps. I really used to it. By the way, I found a train that went near The Arboretum. I walked for about 40 minutes to get there.


In the way, I saw an accident that was exactly like my car's accident. However, the other car that hit side of that car was severely damaged because the middle of the front bumper was the hit point. Unfortunately, the picture that I took from the accident was not clear. The rear tire of the other car was also damaged, but in my accident, the rear tire of my car was not affected at all.


I thought about the accident when I was walking alone with the street to get there. I thought that it was over. I didn't lose any money in that accident, and it was better to let the car go. I was emotional about it, and I didn't want my car to be totaled, but if it didn't happen, not only I had lost 500$ insurance deductible but also my car's value decreased a lot. But now I can go and buy another car without loosing any money. Whether he did that intentionally or not, God doesn't want me to loose my money; so, he helped me a lot in this case. I decided not to pursue that guy for the accident. He might simply lost his control.



Finally, I got there. It was one of the most amazing places that I have ever seen. I saw many new types of plants and trees there. I also experienced African, Australian and Tropical jungles for the first time. I think that it really worth to go that long way to there. However, they could make that place much better.



You could see amazing peacocks everywhere in the Arboretum.























































Two brides and grooms had their wedding there that day. I saw them from the far. They came there with a large luxury car.
