I got the reaction "LA? Why on earth are you going to LA?" when I told a friend where I was going this time. The reason was simple: my beloved got a scholarship to go there, and I could meet a couple of friends that I hadn't seen since something like 2001.

Cary Grant

North by Northwest forever, or something along that line.

For Roar

This one is for you, Roar :-)

Shirley Temple

One of the few women hands and feet outside the Chinese Theater.

Mao's Kitchen

Unfortunately, M is hiding the MA in Mao with his elbow, but the sign is nice, isn't it? :-D

Model in creating

We stood just by this model and her dresser, and could watch as her costume was being built.

Spikes were "in"

Obviously, real tall spikes are "in" in LA nowadays. It felt a bit like Picadilly Circus in the 1980:s, except half of the spikes were artificial here.

The compere of the evening

A tar pit!
You've seen a tar pit! That is such a cool thing to see. Even beats the mud volcano I saw in Venezuela (http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Venezuela/blog-179251.html). ...and Arnies hand impressions aren't chicken shit either... ...and I liked the photo of the squirrel. Have fun in Yosemity and other places. /Åke

Why only the right foot?
LA has to be done whole or not at all. It's an immersion thing - you'll know it when you've done it, but if you don't you won't know it. Like the sound of one hand clapping, of course, as a totally immersed friend once said. Glad your getting all the tidbits together. Say hi toyour beloved and come home safely.
