A New Day - A New Life

We left Auckland around 8pm and about 11 hours later this is what greeted us... an absolutely beautiful Southern Californian winter day! This was our first glimpse of mainland USA...
...and the huge expanse of LA. This is a big city... and everything we saw after this was big too! Big Freeways, big cars, big houses, big shopping centres, and some pretty big people too.

LA looks like Buenos Aires - city blocks stretching over the horizon.

Yes, LA was a huge culture shock for me as well; & I was only there for 2.5 days. Lookin forward to seeing you guys, and I'll be used to driving on the RHS of the road by then, I was almost run over 7 times in LA by looking the wrong way before crossing the highway.... Prayin that you guys enjoy the adventure, talk soon
