Ride a Segway. Check. One more check off of the bucket list.

I had the opportunity to lead a group of students on a Beverly Hills Segway Tour this past Cultural Weekend. Kara Hooper organized the trip with Another Side Tours and led a group in the morning. I took a group in the afternoon. After a brief training session in the tour company’s parking lot, it was off on the streets Wilshire Blvd. and Rodeo Drive. Students quickly adapted to the feel of the intuitive machine and navigated past pedestrians and obstacles. The students had a great time and enjoyed their moment in the Beverly Hills spotlight as car honked and paparazzi, I mean tourists, snapped photos as we rode past.

We went to Hole in the Wall Burger for a delicious dinner before returning to campus in time to hit the books.
