The City of Angels

We made it!! 4,000 miles and we finally made it. The first leg of the adventure is now complete.

It was a bit of a culture shock to be surrounded by people again (keep in mind few people live in the parts of the coutry that we just drove through), but we managed to adjust pretty quickly.

Since Brian and Jeannie's flight departed early on Monday, we needed to take every advantage of the time in LA we could, it also gave me an opportunity to get all the tourism out of my system.

We took Mulholland Drive over the mountain. This windy road reminded me of a video game with its hairpin turns, and bikers flying past my car and took us to Malibu. After dipping our feet in the Pacific, we turned to an overly crowded Santa Monica Pier.

From here we stopped at Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills and a very overrated Hollywood Blvd.

Following our lightning fast tour of LA, we met up with a high-school friend who took us to a great Cuban restaurant. With food in our stomachs and our driving behind us, we settled in for the night and went to sleep.

You are missing Vegas!

I suspect that he's of the opinion that what happened in Vegas STAYED in Vegas, as the advertising campaign suggested. [That is, unless you want to talk about the winnings at the one-armed bandits?!]
