Back to reality

LA was great! We didn't really have any clue on what to do, so we basically just drove around in the Mustang while figuring out what to do, in the worst cases we let the GPS decide for us.

On Monday, after we leased the Mustang and ate a really good burger at the In and Out diner, we took the drive to Hollywood, walked on Hollywood Blvd and looked at the stars in the pavement. But for the most part we just drove the car. :D Sadly, my camera ran out of space kinda early that day, so I didn't get to take that many pictures. Other than that and a dinner, we didn't do much else since we kinda got up a little late that day... *ahem*

On Tuesday we took the ride to Hollywood once again to see the Hollywood sign and the scenic view over Los Angeles from there.

While the rest of the class were at school. In cold, cold Grand Forks. *smirk*

We really wanted to go to the sign itself, but the road was blocked and a sign threatened with imprisonment if we went further. So this was as close as we got:

We went to find a place to eat, but first we got a little bit lost and ended up at this place:

Universal Studios

But sadly, we didn't have time to visit it... We ended up on a small restaurant slightly hidden in a semi-alley, but their bread there was to die for. Afterwards we went back to the hotel, since the guy traveling with us got the rest of the week off to go to Florida and watch the Discovery space shuttle launch. *envy* So he had to book tickets, which ended up costing him 1000 USD total, including the trip back to Grand Forks. I hope it was worth it!

But anywho, after he finished, which took forever, we decided to go to Long Beach to watch the sunset. But it was kinda a long ride, and the voice on the radio said there had been an accident which slowed down the traffic. So we ended up at the Santa Monica pier instead:

We barely reached the sunset. But it was beautiful.

And here's a small picspam of a few other things:

POSE!

The wind was flapping my hair everywhere. But I found the solution.

The only downside we found on the car

Salt bars(saltstenger)! Only 10 times bigger. O.o

Wednesday we finally got home (except for the Florida guy), at approx. 1 AM. So I got about 3 hours of sleep until school, went to school, got 15 maps and charts that I had to learn until today (e.g. one day). FML. But I did good! =) scored 95% with only 2 errors (we only got one of the maps on the test)
