The thought here has to be that they will make up this loss by getting you to buy more stuff at their store. The problem is that we are just going to buy these cards for 20% off and then spend them on music and Apps at iTunes. I wonder if it works for iBooks?

After checking out of my hotel I started looking for a place to eat breakfast but they all had lines outside. Eventually I made my way to a taco shop and then walked stright up Broadway to the top of the city. That’s where I took the top shot and the two staircases. Then I made my way into Chinatown which is where the bottom shot was taken.

    Enjoy:
