Story 3 Like Never Before
The number of cars scared me as I watched from the cab’s window. We had been driving for more than an hour and it was bumper to bumper on the highway into LA from LAX. I was dead tired after the flight and the jet lag was coming on. I yawned and then leaned back in the seat. Finally, I was here, America. I had dreamt about this trip for years but never had the money. I didn’t believe my luck when I entered an online competition to win a one-week all-paid yoga seminar. Back in Reykjavik, Iceland, where I am from a friend and I own a Yoga center. This was a fantastic opportunity to see LA and learn new techniques. My friend has a family and couldn’t attend, but I, being single had no problem packing a suitcase and taking a cab to the airport.
The traffic became better and after a while, we turned off the highway and entered Pasadena. I was to stay in a motel close to the seminar according to the brochure I had been sent.
