CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

Last week we traveled to sunny Los Angeles.  It really is a place where dreams come true, artists have space to create, and the rent is still cheap enough for the weirdos.  Although we lived there for seven years, it was my son's first pilgrimage to la la land.  Behind the strip malls exterior and the glamorous gloss, there is actually interesting things happening all across the suburban city.  Let your freak flags fly, LA!
