So.. LA.. a funny old town. It's so incredibly humongous, and we had a car to get around. I will summarize in words :
- It rained (torrential)
- GPS (broke on the freeway IN to LA)
- Minor emotional breakdown (mine)
- Found hotel
- Realized there is NO free parking whatsoever in LA
- Was starving
- Ate crappy pizza
- Went back to car rental place near LAX to get new GPS whilst knackered.
- Another emotional breakdown
- Slept
- Woke up, met with Eimhin
- Went to awards (the award was unjustly given to "Robot Chicken")
- Laughed (hard at William Shattner)
- Slept
- Walked around Santa Monica in sunshine
-Saw Arnold Schwarzenegger in Old Navy (Man of the people.. surrounded by minders)
- Sat on the sand
- Ate
- Slept
- Hung out with Eimhin
- It Rained
- Came home
- The End
And now, LA in pictures:
So that be it.. or a bit of it anyway! I finally got to use the Panoramic option on the camera. Very snazzy. The beach photo was my first attempt, and is not very well aligned. In my defense, I couldn't really see the viewfinder as the sun was really making things difficult.. that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
That's not how I remember it.... I don't remember ANY emotional breakdowns...
