2nd Week in California

Work has finally started (that means no more orientation or training). Parking cars is fun and very challenging. Imagine hundreds of cars flying at you and having to park them within the minute in a very specific pattern. crazy stuff.

I went to Los Angeles a couple days ago. It's really a neat place. I did feel a little unsafe though. I was warned by some friends that people on the streets really want your money - which was true. Many guys charge at you trying to hand you "free" c.d.'s, then they want cash. There are also con-artists dressed up as disney characters. I made sure to stay away from all those clowns.
As you can see from my pictures, I got to see the Hollywood sign. Very cool in person.

I think my favorite part about this land is that when you're in the city, you can just look out and see the snow-covered mountains.

Thanks for all your comments on things to eat (especially Megan, my mom, and john behrens).
Yesterday I bought grapes, tomatoes, salad (dark greens), apples, oranges, and canned peaches, oh and lime tortilla chips. Here's something though - the big bag of grapes I got said $4 on it. Turns out it was $4 per pound. The bag I got was 2.7 lbs. So when I got home and looked at the receipt, I found that I paid $10 for grapes! I don't know if it was really ten dollars or not, but I already ate half the bag before I noticed how much I was charged. Do you think I should go back and see if I can get my money back? I don't think the grapes were really $10.

More to come!
