Our first two-day stint in a town, and it comes immediately before a four-day stop in our next locale. It's an easy week in California.
The appeal of Los Angeles continues to confound me, but more positives are showing their faces all the time. Rae Davis and I start making a list.
- The oppressively Californian weather
- There's a place on Santa Monica that sells $2 thrift clothing. It's all in a giant pile on the floor, but there you go.
- There's damn good food to be found
- The city is large enough and diverse enough to not only have a little China and little Italy, but a little Ethiopia.
So it grows. Today was originally scheduled as an off day. Davis spends most of it relaxing around our host home, while Sara Routh has brunch with a friend, then heads to a photo shoot. The hot LA sun blazes away as errands are run and friends are commiserated with.
