Los Angeles, California
August 21, 2015
Friday afternoon, LA was on the
radar. Around noon, I got an email about the plane delay until 2am. After
a movie and dinner, we finally decided at midnight to try going to
LA. My argument: we are still young and have very few responsibilities in life.
Pedro decided to be nice and we drove to the airport for the next adventure.
At 5am on Saturday, we arrive to the car rental place (after climbing
mountains, crawling under tunnels, and jumping over bushes). To my excitement,
we got a VW beetle convertible! What better way to experience the west coast
than a convertible?!? (Expect, I guess there is pretty low gas mileage and a
lot of blind spots). 
We headed straight for the beach,
drove along the coast, and enjoyed watching everybody wake up. Tons of cyclists
gathered for their morning rides along the coast, surfers tried to catch some
waves, and volley ball games started up on the beach.
After hopping back in the car, I
found a restaurant nearby for breakfast. The menu there was incredible--
breakfast burritos, vegan pancakes, smoothies....! With a happy belly to wake
me up from the smoggy morning daze, we continued driving north (top down) along
the pacific coast highway until stumbling upon an inviting beach for an
afternoon nap in the sand--resulting in a refreshed body with healthy tan
lines.
The remainder of the day can be
summed up with driving, breezy hair, and trail mix. The next morning, we parked
at Zuma Beach by Malibu for an early morning dip. The cold water was actually
refreshing for my inflamed joints. This trip was everything I needed to start an energized week!
