Thought I'd post a nice, light-hearted entry today...nothing related to the adoption or little Cameron. Simply some observations about our time in L.A. so far (which has been a blast):
1. Traffic -- it's not that people really drive any different here, than say, Kansas City or some other metro. It's simply that there's a TON more of them on the road. Dang, there's a lot of people here! And they are all of course in a hurry...at all times. And having about three to four more cars turn left after the arrow has changed to red, is not uncommon. Hey, who has time to wait? Gotta get to the beach!
2. Matt Damon has HUGE feet. -- No, we didn't bump into him at the local Del Taco. We saw his foot print on the Hollywood walk of fame. Those are some huge kicks, Matt.
3. How can a beach in CA be ugly? -- Even though I was blown away by the beach in Santa Monica, no locals seem to think that was the best place for me to see my first ocean. "Ooohh, you went there?" (With a disgusted look on their face) What, I didn't see any floating garage or anything. But I guess those waters aren't the cleanest. We'll take in Malibu next week I guess, so I can see what a real beach looks like.
4. Fast food -- OK, fast food options here are WAY better. In-and-Out Burger, Del Taco, California Pizza Kitchen, all kinds of cool asian and hawaiian joints, etc. Heck, even their Taco Bells have special menu items not available in Kansas! I'm talking a corn tortilla, with shredded pork, fresh cilantro, onions and a lime wedge; 2 for $2.79! Had 'em already, and I'm sold.
5. A clean car is a happy car, right? -- If people aren't at work, they seem to be washing their cars. Everywhere you turn, someone is washing a car. I've never seen so many people with shiny clean cars. But, I guess you have to look good out here at all times. Afterall, it is L.A.
Well, that's all for now. I'll keep posting my L.A. observations as they come.
See ya, folks...gotta go wash the Altima!
