Yesterday was fun. We did all of the touristy LA things like Hollywood Blvd and hiking to the Griffith Observatory (which left us with some pretty good shots of the Hollywood sign). Hollywood Blvd was a lot like the Vegas strip in my opinion. Loud, big, colorful, and riddled with people in costumes trying to get your attention/money.
The sun is always, absolutely always, shining. The weather continues to be the most noteworthy thing about this place. Luckily, I've applied enough sunscreen and spent just enough time outside to avoid getting burnt--which is great. Apparently many of Blythe's east coast visitors have gotten fried--so it's a very real threat. I guess this is because the temperature is always fairly cool, especially on the beach where there is a very strong ocean breeze; and there is no humidity, but, alas, the sun is ever present. There are no clouds. Not a single cloud.
I wonder what the Bay Area adventures are going to be like. I really haven't seen or interacted with my uncle in a quiet while and now I am going to be spending a whole week with him. It will be fine. I just wonder if we're going to have enough to talk about. I imagine the area and the activities will probably provide a lot of conversation starters. Plus I have tentatively planned to meet up with a few friends once I'm up there--a few coworkers and my old coworker from when I was working at the dojo. Not the asshole who owns the place but the other employee. It will be weird but he really wants to meet up. Truthfully, I'm not sure what Uncle Greg has planned so I'm not even sure if I will have a lot of free time over there but we'll see. I will admit that the gaping hole of days in front of me in which I don't know what I will be doing is giving me a little bit of heartburn. I'm used to over-scheduling. I know this is crazy--but it still makes me a little uncomfortable.
I still have two more days here in LA though so I shouldn't get ahead of myself! Today we're doing the artsy thing and going to the Getty.
