Our day began at 4:30 AM with the customary 2 hour check in for an international flight. We finally boarded for a short 2 and a half hour flight to Los Angeles. Upon our arrival we were greeted with sunshine, warm temperatures, and a fourteen hour layover! We decided to use the time here in the City of Angels to explore it by tour bus. Our journey took us to the end of Route 66 and the Santa Monica Pier, to the affluent areas of Bel Air and Beverly Hills where we did a little window shopping on Rodeo Drive, and to the Farmers Market for a delicious lunch. We ended our tour by visiting the world famous Hollywood sign and taking in the beautiful view of the LA skyline. During our travels, we had the opportunity to visit with a lovely couple from Canada. They were very interested in our program and shared with us their concerns about education in Canada. We also spent time visiting with a young man from Holland who on a gap year traveling the world on his own.
We just got our boarding call, and we are off again. This next leg will take us thirteen hours and a trip across the International Date Line to our destination. More to come...
