I made it "home" - back to Los Angeles, the city I love. But I no longer have a home.
My suitcases will be in full usage as I will be hopping all around town and road tripping throughout the summer. Why return to Barcelona for August when everything is shut down?
Good morning dead battery!
Yep, after 7 weeks of sitting in the driveway, my car battery was dead. Not just drained - but completely dead. At least I had almost a half a tank of gas left...
Ok, fine... I'll take a new battery, Mr. Triple A man.
I just need to get to Beverly Hills from Westchester by 10 am.
30 minutes? That should be fine.
Hello 405. Thank you for reminding me why I hate you. 15 mph on a thursday at 9:30 am? why?
Santa Monica Blvd - that was my mistake - shoulda taken Wilshire. I know better than that.
15 minutes late for my appointment. How dare I blame traffic - but it was true... but, oh forget it. everyone else was late too.
Is everyone heading out of town today?
I thought it was a 3-day weekend, not 4!
405 wasn't bad enough, eh? the 10 East - crawling.
stop... roll forward a bit... stop... repeat... agonizing.
At least no one was heading south on the 110 or west on the 105 this afternoon.
I miss not having to drive.
I miss how everything is fairly nearby in Barcelona.
I love their mass transit system.
I miss my new friends.
I miss being able to eat a croissant with my coffee in the morning - and being able to justify it due to my daily 3-4 mile walks.
I don't miss the food there.
I had the most kick-ass Ramen at lunch today with my dad.
And this sunday - that's right - we're having Carne Asada from Sanchez Carniceria. (swoon)
