The vast expanse of desert offers a nice contrast to painfully desolate and poorly planned development. Ewww I say. Kathleen pointed out, as I wrote off the entire state of Arizona because of the sights from the interstate, that perhaps I was being unfair. The state does house the Grand Canyon after all.
The sun fell over the desert as we entered California and lodged the Subaru in bumper to bumper traffic miles outside of congested LA. I felt more like a tourist experiencing a famous trait of a city than a frustrated motorist. Cruising around with Texas plates in California is a mixed blessing...so we hit the city at night and met up with a friend in Santa Monica. After some Chinese food, a few drinks at a restaurant that a friend cooks for, and a conversation with a witty editor of some notable television shows, we rested our heads on two surprisingly comfortable couches.
