People on the Metro

I commute a fare distance on the Metro going to and from work. Now that I've been doing this for a few months I have noticed that there a few repeat characters. Last night I saw a family that I typically only see in the mornings. I was very surprised to see them on my commute home.

This family is the typical American family with a mom, dad and child. They get on the metro at Forest Glen and ride into the city. The mom probably works in a law firm or at a court office. This theory comes from the types of documents she is typically holding when she exits at Judiciary Square.

The father and son continue along the red line after her departure. I'm not entirely sure what the dad does in the day. He continues on the Red line after I transfer at Metro Center. I feel like he has a fun job somewhere. He wears jeans and simple sweaters.

The little boy is of Asian decent, adopted by his Caucasian parents. He is adorable. He is still young enough to stand on his mother's lap while riding the train, however judging by his size and her face after about a minute of this I think she's going to start vetoing that idea in a month. He seems like a smart child, his stroller is always filled with little books, which I've seen his dad read to him.

I have grown a fondness for this family and their morning intersations. It's just anouther reason why I love the city. You can develope an unwriten relationship with people you've never met.
