6:25
these days and over on this side that's

7:14
beehive
7:16
of activity out here
7:18
lines everywhere
7:28
and just a few yards away from where the
7:28
food trucks were is there's a little
7:31
food court over at this hotel just in
7:33
the same area so there is a mexican
7:35
kitchen place and there's a place called
