City of Angels

I came, I saw, I drove. What a ride - I finally arrived yesterday at 5pm in the afternoon in Los Angles, California, after spending New Year's Eve in Fabulous Las Vegas. I have to say, after trekking through the entire continental United States, it really feels like I'm arriving 'home' at the end of a long trip. The landscape of the land between the plains of Texas and the Sierra Nevadas was truly something else. More than the sense of traveling through another country, it was as if I had been teleported to another planet. However, seeing the palm trees of San Bernardino County was the sign of the beginning of the end of our journey.

New Year's Eve in Vegas was another experience altogether. Over half a million people crowding the 2 miles that comprise the Strip, either drunk or on something a little stronger, all jamming to get a better view of .... ? Anyway, that won't be the last time I'll be visiting Vegas, for sure.

In the next few weeks I'll be scanning my photos, and getting a pbase.com account to post all the pictures from my trip on the Internet. After unpacking the sum of my possessions from the back of my car, I'm off again doing some serious shopping round town.

More updates to come once I have a computer.

Adios!
