A Few LA Sights

On New Year's Eve we were given this car - WOW!!! We have been so blessed, embraced and welcomed by everyone here. This was the best gift we could have been given as we've had to do a lot of driving around - getting our bearings and having to shop for stuff for our new home. (Of course, Ali's been hating that! ;-)
We visited Newport Beach one afternoon and saw this vibrant scene. What an amazing area. Cool (and very expensive) houses and lots of character.
Yes folks, we are in America! This is looking back from the Newport Pier. We are wide-eyed and soaking up all the sights and trying to enjoy the journey of settling into a new culture. So far, so good. I'd have to say we haven't found too much not to like at this point.This has to be seen to be believed. It's the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) headquaters with their Christmas decorations dazzling all who pass by on the 405 Freeway. This picture doesn't do it justice.
Famous Laguna Beach.

These "binoculars" didn't work very well but they sure looked cool!

Hi Mark and Ali,
It's good to hear that we'll have a Riverview Church in the USA. We hope to be able to drop in some time in April or May when we get to LA. We're enjoying reading your blog and wish you all the best for your new adventure.
From the Arnotts in Steamboat!
