Los Angeles - 1 & 2 Jan

1 Jan 2014 - Happy New Year

Flew from DC to LA and with a great tail wind the flight arrived 1 hour early.  On our way we flew over the Rockies which were covered in snow.  Also sat next to a music artist who told us all about his work and the industry.

Once we settled into our hotel room we took a bus to Manhatten Beach to check out the beach culture and have a bite to eat.  While dinning we got chatting to a fellow who told us all about America from his perspective as a business man.  We have met nothing but lovely people on our journey and he joined the ranks.

We wondered onto the beach peer and watched the surfing for a time.  It was glorious feeling warm again.




2 Jan

Took an all day tour of the famous sites including Venice Beach, Bel Air, Hollywood and Rodeo Drive.  Our story is told in pictures.
