Lazy L.A.

Hey all! Today was a lazy day! I am still running on Hawaii time. To bed really late and up pretty late! It is so hot and dry here. I went to Ralph's (supermarket) yesterday and tried to buy some healthy food....interesting. All yoghurt has high fructose corn syrup as the second ingredient except one which has maple syrup instead! Oh GREAT! I'm excited because Dave (one of my best friends) will be arriving in LA on Tuesday avo (fingers crossed Air New Zealand doesn't strike!)! Can't wait to be around that Aussie accent again and someone who thinks Americans are a wako as.......me! I am looking into doing tourist things with him. You know, Hollywood Boulevard (with the stars on the pavement, seeing the Hollywood sign and Grauman's Chinese Theatre), the J. Paul Getty Museum (a definite-one of my favorite places in the world), Universal studios (?) and Disneyland (?) . It's so funny, my family already has the restaurants picked out where we have to take him and they have more restaurants in mind then the days that we are here in L.A! Dave says "I've only been to NZ before! soon I will be with you in the US eating sugary bread!!! and krispy kream donuts I've been told by cousin alli! did I tell you that my flight from Melbourne to Auckland tomorrow has been cancelled every day for the last week except for tomorrow when I fly out!! lucky!"

Hey Cara!

Have you tried Trader Joe's. They have a lot of natural type food and the prices are better than the health food store. I think that there must be 100s of resturants that you can eat at in L.A. I do not think that Americans really know that all of their food does not have to be full of fat and sugar. They have been raised that way and do not know any other way to eat! If you complaiin about it they say "you do not know how lucky your are, you could live in the third world where they are starving" I hate that, like that is going to make up for all the crap that they put in our food. We are suposed to smile and say how lucky we are.....yum, yum.

Hey Cara, glad that you are having heaps of fun. While you're eating Krispy Kreme Donuts, i've been sampling turtle soup, baby shark and wild boar in Singapore - i'd recommend trying them, but maybe not as a stable dietary meal. Good to hear from you and i'll email you soon about my adventures!
