Heading home

Just wanted to give you an update. We've been hanging around and enjoying the down time and the cooler weather here in LA.  We will be leaving tomorrow and stopping at Quartzsite, AZ and will be home Wednesday. We're not excited about heading back to the heat but are looking forward to being with family, Sophie and friends.

We’ll start right in with unloading the rig.  We did a great job of not over packing, we're getting better the more we travel. Thursday will be cleaning day.

It was an amazing journey. We really enjoyed all the beautiful places we’ve visited and making new friends and the cooler weather the coast offered, it was a pleasant change from the hot Tucson summer.

We're already talking about next year trip!

 

We left Pismo Beach yesterday morning (Thursday) and arrived in Los Angeles late afternoon.  The traffic was terrible, it took us 1 1/2 hours to go 20 miles, I can't believe the amount of cars I could never live in a big city.  The view was obstructed partly because of the smoke from the fires.




Today (Friday) We took a tour that took us to see the Movie Star's homes, amazing what money can buy!! Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theatre, so many people it was hard to look at the stars without walking into people!, Mulholland Drive & The Hollywood sign, Sunset Blvd. & Melrose Ave., Downtown LA, Rodeo Drive where we saw Bentleys and Lamborghinis.  For lunch we stopped at the Farmers' Market, we only had a hour so not much time to shop however we did manage to find two bakeries!! :)


The market was established in 1934, when a dozen local farmers packed their trucks on an open field (once a dairy farm) to sell fresh produce to local residents.  They picked us up at the campground and we drove 30 minutes to pickup another couple, the drive back tonight took us an hour and 45 minutes!!
