It's been a funny sort of day. We drove from Hollywood to drop the bags off at the motel near the airport (on the other side of LA). We then drove back to Hollywood to drop off the car and then went back to the motel near the airport by metro and bus. It took three hours by car to cross LA, mainly due to the sat nav taking the shortest rather than the quicker freeway route. I have had my fill of traffic lights.
This was the hotest day in LA ever, a record breaking 45 degrees C. They are blaming the easterly winds blowing the heat in from Death Valley. The metro also took ages, there were extensive delays due to the heat (buckling of the track was my guess).
My scandals have been dying for some time despite some Frankenstein type repairs. I found a new pair and needed to say goodbye to the old. The doors star sign had to do, after the picture we dropped them into a bin which caught the eye of a tramp that went to investigate (but were not good enough for him also).
The other thing I bought was a Spanish phrase book that took some finding. Bookshops in LA are as rare as Sex shops in Mecca.
Tomorrow we leave America for El Salvador.
