Quick Catch up!

While we were on the train we had no internet connection so I wrote the words and assembled pictures. However transferring hasn't been as simple as I had hoped so in order to get the information up I will put the photos on Flickr and improve as I go along. Enjoy!

Some real food at last! This is what is called the Farmers Market on 3rd and Fairfax. At least it looked fresh and tasted great. Across the road was the biggest organic store called Whole Foods. We got the makings for a meal we were more familiar with back in our Best Western.

Weather has been warm and pleasant. LA not too much smog and breathing sort of ok. They drive on the wrong side of the road! This hasn’t helped our orientation to being upside down and directionless [ie knowing north, south etc] remembering to look for cars on the left rather than the right especially when you are so tired from the change of time and flight.

There is a great mismatch between the movie town image and the reality. Everything is BIG! Big people, big buildings, big things and big hearts! And Grubby. We have travelled by bus and the drivers other travellers have been so good; stopping at our hotel not the regular stop, not charging us a fare if we looked lost. Everyone has a ‘cell phone’.
