LOS ANGELES



Our airport arrival was very humiliating being sent back three time before we finally filled in all the boxes correctly for American standards. We had no idea were to go, the information was already closed and we started to miss South America already. Luckily someone offered us a lift to a hostel in Santa Monica. We moved to Hollywood the next day, a more exciting area but also the start of Petra being ill. Phil enjoyed his freedom joining a 65 year old lady showing him around and buying him lunch. She even took him into a beauty saloon but unfortunately he refused any treatment. At night he met Marcus who bought him Jack Daniels until he could not remember anymore but he was very pleased with his achievements for the day.



Next day Petra was feeling better and we enjoyed a day at Universal studios with awesome rides and brilliant shows. Los Angeles is the place for the rich and famous and the strange and wired ones too. What we thoroughly enjoyed was suddenly getting hot water again for 24 hours and being able to throw toilet paper into the loo again even that we were still looking for the bin in every toilet. We left Los Angeles after a week staying at the airport 24hours before catching our next flight because Petra mixed up the times on the ticket.

the need for pluralism has never been needed more than on this blog. To be quite frank, one does not care about your life, n'or your value system.

Well its nice to see people living a happy life.
And you obviously do care, otherwise you would not have read the blog in the first place.
So my conclusion is that YOU are the one without the life?

Marcus sounds pretty cool, free drinks are always good!
