End of the Road – The Journey to LA is Complete

(Days one, two, three, and four)

I’ve made it to Los Angeles. My cross-country trek is over, and now I’m working on more boring, mundane things, like finding a place to live, figuring out where the grocery store is, etc. Five days of driving and sleeping in a different hotel each night caught up to me yesterday, and I fell right to sleep.

This will be short, only because the only thing that stands out to me about going through California is the excitement of being there. I made it. I’m on the West Coast. I’ve done what many only wish they could do. I drove across the United States, from Hampton, VA to Los Angeles, CA. I saw a lot of the country that most people won’t ever see.

Would I do it again? Yes, but not right now. I would need some time to rest and relax. Also, I’m in Los Angeles. I need to do some exploring before my job starts next week. I did, however, snap some pics of the desert.



As for things I’ve done in LA so far: I’ve gotten lost in Santa Monica, I’ve gotten lost in Culver City, I found my way around pretty well in Redondo Beach, and I found out the LA Clippers practice facility is mere walking distance from the hotel I’m staying at this week. Unfortunately, that’s still not close enough to warrant a visit. C’mon, it’s the Clippers. I have a strong feeling there isn’t even a single basketball in that building.
