LA visit

Hello everyone!!

well i made it! i'm in washington atm in the hostel. the internet is cheap but there doesn't appear to be a place to plug in my camera - so no pics atm.

well i arrived in LA after about 18hrs of travelling of which i got no sleep. checked into the hotel straight away, the room was better than expected (i had my own double bed and bathroom). i was feeling pretty good, so i had a shower and headed for Venice beach. after 3 buses and 1.5 hours i made it. LA looks just like the movies, big cars, big roads, a thousand take-away stores and everyone dresses like a punk (but that is how everyone dresess). It was about 18 degress and windy but i wasn't cold in my jumper. i walked along venice beach for about an hour. not many people there (cos it was windy) so it wasn't that great. however, while walking i saw a crowd of people so i went to have a look and turns out they were filming a movie there. there was 2 actors sitting on a bench, one was jeff goldblum! (from jurrasic park, the fly, independance day). i took a few pics which i will post when i get a chance to. anyway started to feel tired so i went home, i managed to stay up till 5 pm, then crashed (was up for about 29 hours). i slept for 14 hours.

so today, i got up, had breakfast in a diner (had 3 cups of their endless coffee) and headed to the airport. i arrived in DC at bout 830pm and headed for the hostel. on the way i met 3 travellers from denmark who were also staying at the hostel (but are leaving tom) so we all checked in to the hostel and headed out for dinner (at 11pm). we were pretty hungary so were wandewring around for any place that served food. the only place open that we found... was hooters! food was crap, had a few beers and am back at the hostel.

so thats it! tom i'll see all the monuments. until then...
