Arrived in LA and spent the afternoon with some good sight-seeing, thanks to David Nusinow and Richard A. Hecker who took me around the city. We went to Venice beach, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Boulevard and the UCLA campus. It has really been great fun, although I'm slowly getting tired. I had to get up at 7am to catch a flight at 10, then had a 14 hour flight and then arrived at 7am on the same day. I read during the flight that the body needs one day per time zone to adjust… that would be 17 days… but tomorrow I'm going to change another 3 time zones and next week another 5 or so - although I'm going back eastwards… so perhaps I can subtract it from the 17? ;-)
Anyway, we're soon off to Santa Monica for dinner with some Debian folks. No photos, sorry; my digital camera is still broken.
