twas interesting. not quite as bad as i expected.
first morning there (wensday) i learned how to surf, was able to get up 1/3 of the time, stayed up much less. 3 hour lesson, the rest of the day turned me four shades of red. i'm peeling for the first time in a long time.
friday we went to little tokyo. i got a dozen laser pointers for $6 as we were walking back to the train. we passed through the toy district, which seemed to be dollar store surplus (but it was the 4th, so not everything was open).
saturday we went to universal. simpsons ride = awesome <<<<< longest line we stood in for a ride at 20-30 min, the only thing that was longer was waiting for the universal backlot tour. apparently they are going for jarassic park 4 at some point, dunno why, just the rumor the guide said.
then thursday (came home friday) we got stranded in butfuck cali. went to hot springs, which included offroading in a minivan, and the transmission got punctured or something. my mom, brother, sister and i spent four hours while my dad went to get a tow (there was no signal for any phone till at least a half hour away). the road to get to where we were was 17 miles long, took at least an hour and a half to get down (and up), and was on top on the mountain ridge. that was fun in the tow truck.
we have at least 900 pictures that i just transfered from my laptop to this computer, i dont know if i'll post any later on.
