Greetings from not sunny California! Sad to have left NY... but nice to be in a nice hotel!! Mmmmm Sheraton... Left NY at 4am after their hottest July 6th on record. 103 degrees. Have no idea what that is in celcius but it sure felt hot, especially with a hangover. Went to the Empire State, did a cruise along the Hudson and went for a 2 hour bike ride through Central Park. Loved that. LA is cold. Disappointing. Spent some time wandering in Santa Monica y...

ESP as we are the only white people to be seen! Hahahaha I spent a couple of days with Uncle M...

Lovely lovely way to spend half a day if you ask me, just wandering the long upwards curve of exhibition space with the complementary auditory guide :p Followed this up with a wander t...

Greetings peeps and fam, Ahhh another day full of American cheer. Man, if there's one thing i've noticed since being here, it's just how good the yanks are at celebrating themselves. It's nauseating. So first stop today, Arlington Cemetary. The who's who of dead people. Checked out the Kennedy's graves, General Lee's house thingy (which included a kitchen garden...seriously!?), Memorial to those killed in the space shuttles, Memorial to the unknown soldiers....
