12/14/12 - I'm with my son in Valencia, CA!  What more is there to say besides.... 

YAY!!!

Yesterday I passed initiation driving in LA during evening rush hour. With Eitra's guiding presence, I navigated Hwy. 5 to the 405, passing the 101, the 10 and on our way back the 210, the 118 and the 14.  (all 5 lane highways!)

WHEW!  *  I DID IT!

It's a wild place here in LA
quite a contrast
from having just come from camping in the desert. 

Being with my son is a glorious reunion!

We're together through the 19th

when Eitra heads East

for holiday 

and I stay West

Where's the California sunshine?
Since I arrived 

it's been

 Rain Rain Rain

day temperature around 50

night time around 40
........Brrrrr........
