Los Angeles... Swimming pools, movie stars, humility, and good common-sense values. Thank God we could spend a precious day in the City of Angels! I'm happy to report to my fellow Coloradans that our water is being put to good use. What better purpose is there beyond rampant narcissism, urban sprawl, choked freeways, bronchitis, Disneyland, and Kobe's Lakers? Wearing shorts and flip-flops we watched the natives walk about in pants and winter jackets in 60-degree weather. A tough group of hardscrabble Americans, no doubt! We're currently killing five hours in LAX before taking a red-eye flight to Bora Bora (departure: 11:30 PM).
We spent most of the day at Manhattan Beach, due to it's proximity to the airport. It's quite nice, and very sedate. Ignore my snarky attitude, we had a very nice and relaxing day.
