Daughter at bus stop.

In these days of being 13 years old and starting high school, my daughter is learning to travel (eventually, on her own) by bus.
In my childhood, this stage probably happened earlier. But I always remember that going around the city alone was freedom.
Nobody knew where I was or what I was doing. I saved the change from the tickets (lots of worthless green and brown bills) to buy records. That's how I got "Synchronicity" by The Police, and had to walk home from Plaza Italia (25 blocks).

    Great story. Your teen years sound much like mine. No one knew where I was or what I was doing.

    @abh3 Thank you! More like late childhood/early teens. The world changed a lot since.
