Vacation Update Continued

On Sunday, we got up early and had dinner with FMD's great aunt and we set out for fabulous Hollywood, CA! We cruised Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards and stopped in to see the famous Chinese Theater. After walking along the star walk and taking a photo of the Hollywood sign, we headed for the coast. We passed through Beverly Hills and Bel Air and Brentwood and such and all I can say is that some people have too much money.

Sunday night brought us back to La Jolla for the night and we struck out to find an Italian restaurant. The one I found online turned out to be 2+ miles away so we settled for a place run by a bunch of surfers. Things certainly run at two speeds in CA, surfer speed and California speed. I'm not qualified to say how these compare to the infamous "New York Minute" but I'm certainly happy to be living in the midwest. You can keep your surf and your smog, I'll stick with the corn and the snow.

Monday we were a bunch of bums and just toured La Jolla for no other reason that we had nothing to do. FMD's dad and I drove down the coast checking out surf shops and found they were pretty much a dime a dozen. What can I say, its CA!

Tuesday found another 3:30 am wakeup and flights from San Diego to Minneapolis to Madison. I'm happy to be home, thats for sure. Glad to have visited, even more glad to be home.
