LA was great. i loved being there, hanging out in betsyWorld. the time went SO fast. we did so much and had so much fun. i didn’t want to come back. hell. i never want to come back lately - to my HOT, smelling-like-rotten-cat-food apartment, with my poor half-dead cat await. knowing i won’t see my family again for MONTHS … boring! lonely! sad! at least there is my bed with the smooth summer duvet and the spinning ceiling fan. and clean underwear. and a poet in the city. at least there is that. all is not awful.

i decided to travel *very* lightly, with only my daypack. i felt like a vagabond. it was fun, being so light. but i had lots of outfits! and a reading book and a writing book and only my little SamboCam. no electronics except for my phone, which i had to keep turned off most of the time because i didn’t bring a charger. i came home with one dollar in my wallet.

but it was all so good. i wrote all the day-to-day details in my paper journal (gasp!), but some of the high points were: the play (of course!) - so impressive, seeing Betsy’s school friends again, meeting Fee’s parents, public transportation, sleeping like a log in Betsy’s bunk bed, Koreatown, David, the Best Fish Taco place in Los Feliz, Trader Joe’s in Hollywood, snacks and wine with Betsy, more sleeping (not even disturbed by the taco truck on the street playing music and calling orders until 3am), the weather - never too hot, cool at night, the Fashion District, downtown, the Craft and Folk Art Museum, the beach! in Santa Monica, handmade pizza, Fee, chocolate cupcakes, etc etc. i felt so happy there. hanging out with my girls is just the greatest.

lots more pictures here!
