Late last week I returned from my west cost visit in Santa Monica and after the long weekend Ponte wedding (Conrad’s again Joe) have finally got around to the ten thousand things I needed to get done and finally optimized my images from the journey and posted them to Flickr

California was the journey I thought it would be. Beautiful scenery, beautiful weather, sensational hype all over and a general feeling of a care free spirit.

In the three weeks I was out there I saw two tapings of reality shows, two high speed chases on TV, three separate wide spread fires which damaged houses and received national TV coverage, a lost whale, and more Mercade’s, Lambo’s and Lotuses than I ever had before.

It seems in LA it’s more important to have a expensive car which is freshly polished than to shower daily.

All and all it was a great time spent with some new friends.

However I’m glad to be home.
