The light in LA the last evening I was there was pure magic.
The day before I was supposed to leave LA, I met Bones. It also stopped raining – the sun came up, the sky was absolutely clear (not a single cloud) and the weather was beautiful. I went to Melrose Ave and bought cat shoes.
In one evening and one afternoon we checked out the Santa Monica promenade, drove past the coast at sunset (absolutely beautiful), went to a drum & bass event, had an incredible breakfast, drove through Silver Lake & downtown LA, hung out in Echo Park & Little Tokyo. I remember mainly the brilliant sunlight that day.
That night I flew LAX-JFK. Several hours early at the airport, I bought a high-energy protein bar and watched a cop move around quickly (and, somehow, in a rather intimidating fashion) on his Segway. The flight was alright. It could’ve been so much worse. Virgin America has the best cabin interior design – super futuristic violet and magenta cabin lighting.
I remember mainly the lights of LA when seen from a plane at night. No other city has ever looked more impressive to my eyes.
You make LA gorgeous and bright.
Connie – It was to me on that last day I saw it. Wait till I post the pics of the rain! Haha.
