Days in LA

Right then... Let's do this. So, this summer we went for a three week holiday to Los Angeles, to see friends and family, and go to my sister's wedding. I used to go there quite often, but it'd had been eight years since I'd last been there - too long if you ask me. It was great to be back, and I always enjoy the slower pace of life, but I must say that traffic has gotten so much worse there since the last time. Any dream or fantasy of living there is quickly quashed by the thought of spending half of my life in a traffic jam. Anyways. I took about 1000+ pictures, a silly amount really, but easy to do when using a digital camera (I also shot some film there, but was a bit underwhelmed with the results), and so to try and edit them into something cohesive is a bit of a challenge. These are from our first couple of days there when we didn't do much more that hang in the pool, with friends and dogs and enjoyed the sunshine. Considering that the summer here in London was so rubbish, I'm really glad that we got at least three weeks of proper heat. As I type this I'm wearing four layers (with the heating on!) so going back in time here on the blog is going to be a treat :)
