USA! USA! USA!

It's raining and it's cold in LA. I'm not used to this. I spent my last few days in Fiji, pretty much doing nothing. I wandered around a Hindu temple which was quite interesting, but other than that I read and wrote postcards home. I landed at LAX about 3 hours ago and have checked into a hostel in Hollywood, just off Hollywood Boulevard. I was warned that it's a pretty crappy area. It's certainly not glamourous! I don't have a picture of the sign yet, but I'll get one. I expect I'll stay around here a few days, Nate has given me the number of a friend of his who I'm going to call in a bit. At the moment the plan is spend a few days in LA and see the sights. Then go up to San Fransisco for a few days, come back down here and meet Gary, then get a lift to San Diego, where we are going to borrow his uncle's car and drive to Vegas (baby, Vegas). Then I'll be off from there to Texas to see Elliot. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans...
