back

i'm finally back from LA. the drive took 9 hours (details to be explained below). i'm exhausted and i'm going into another frenzy of activities this weekend. my long time friend is visting from nyc! i am gonna go pick her up later tonite. i just hope i don't pass out from another hour of driving. i need rest...

9 hours? my dad wanted to be adventurous so we took 118 east (new LA Avenue(?)) thru these farm fields and ended-up in ventura -> hopped onto the 101 -> then we went thru san luis obispo to hop onto the 1-> 156 -> back onto 101 (had to stop in gilroy for some shopping. heh heh.)-> 85 -> 280. finally home! why did it take so long? the 1 was really foggy, rainy, had stinking slow tourists, and trailers. BUT the sun actually came out and it was beautiful. the weather paralleled with my mood as i was reflecting this year and thinking about other things... the sun made it all better and i know He had some thing to do with it.:)

i took a bajillion pictures in LA and driving up. hopefully i'll have them all up when i'm not as brain dead.

3 more days to make this year memorable!
