Traffic, Traffic, Traffic

The weather almost forgives the horrendous traffic... almost.

My dear friend Zoe set us up for our day in Los Angeles. We hiked to the top of Runyon Canyon to get a beautiful view of the Hollywood sign and all of LA. Beautiful...





I think I'm a fan of LA from above. I loved driving along Mulholland Drive overlooking the city but once we were in the streets driving Hollywood Blvd, Rodeo Dr and all the others it somehow lost its allure. The houses were amazing and gorgeous! We had our mouths hanging open in awe of the size and beauty of the mansions!

We had a stereotypical day in Southern California: Lunch at In-N-Out Burger on Sunset Blvd (it took 15 min to park), Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Drive through Beverly Hills (we bought a map to the stars... not worth it), Santa Monica Pier.



We managed to find our way out to San Dimas to bum off another good friend who was kind enough to offer their house for these weary travelers.

After experiencing "puffy pancakes" for the first time in our lives, we packed the car and headed for San Diego by way of the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). Loved the view and all the little shops along the way. Have I mentioned I love the weather here?
