Spent the day heading all around LA's wonderful sites :) went to Newport Beach and down the Pacific Coast Highway (they drove on this during on the Bachelor!) and to Balboa Island where we had lunch, well I got breakfast naturally... :) We stopped at a nature preserve and took some beautiful pictures of birds and the water, I should probably let you know this was all happening while I was wearing flip flops, sunglasses and no coat! in the beginning of February where it was roughly 70 degrees and not a single cloud in the sky! :) We then traveled to Huntington Beach where we watched some surfers and got a little sun. Drove into Newport and along picture perfect roads all while passing AMAZING enormous homes, I can only hope to one day view the interior of :P It was an great day, but of course there had to be adventure it is the Greenwood's after all :)
As we were window shopping in Laguna Beach and people watching (saw quite a few characters, a women clearly wearing a shirt as a dress with heels, and another women looking like she escaped from some sort of hippie carnival) we went back to the car to find that it was leaking radiator fluid all over the side walk. We got in and prayed it would not over heat on the way to the gas station. We then realized when we got the the gas station that as Uncle Ray was pouring water into the radiator we were watching it free flow down the little hill out of the car....realized then we need a mechanic! took the car to a shop and walked around the beach, and watched the waves until we got the call that the car needed to stay over night and we were stranded in Laguna. We had to call and get a ride back home. :)
Had an amazing day and I hope this doesn't make everyone who just got snow on the East Coast too jealous :P
Tomorrow around midnight California time I will be flying to Australia!!! :) Pictures to come!
Nice have fun in your long flight!
