Antonio!

Since we’re saving money for the big trip to Puerto Rico this summer, Rachel and I decided a weekend getaway to Los Angeles would be a nice way to spend our 3rd anniversary. All in all it was a pretty nice weekend; we got to visit the Santa Monica Pier, The Getty, Griffith Park and the La Brea Tar Pits. The most memorable part of the trip though was the drive down Mulholland Drive.

It was nice to get away for a few days but Rachel’s thoughts on the city sum up L.A. pretty well: it’s one big, dirty ghetto. Nowhere in the city did we go and get that “I wouldn’t mind living here” feeling. Angry/stupid drivers, the constant brown haze of smog and the overall unsafe feeling we had going almost anywhere that wasn’t overrun with tourists means I may visit again in the future but I’ll never call Los Angeles home.
