LA Happenings

We leave for the train station in a few hours, on our way to New Orleans.

Here in Los Angeles, it was lots of hanging out and visiting with family, which was fun.  I slept well and ate well so life is good.  We got in on Tuesday night without any issues.  On Wednesday, Dad, Betsy, and I went to lunch at a place on the beach and then Betsy showed me around some of the funky places around Santa Monica.  On Thursday, we all went to the La Brea Tar Pits and saw the bones from animals that got stuck in the pits and in the surrounding areas.  Who knew there was some type of camel that lived here ages ago??  Aunt Kathy, Jenny, and her husband Robert came last night for dinner and we got to catch up.  It had been a very long time since I had seen Kathy and even longer since I'd seen Jenny so it was nice to get together.



Anyway, we next spend two nights on the train before reaching New Orleans.  That's a lot of desert and a lot of Texas...
