Los Angeles Story

3 weeks in LA
I was in Los Angeles, California for 3 weeks, from December 27- January 19, 2004, when I flew to Bangkok, Thailand. For most of the time in LA, I did not have internet connection or a digital camera. In LA I was able to spend precious time with my family, including my gram, mom, sister and aunt. Though my beautiful, smart, succesful and dear friend Vanna may never forgive me for not making the time to see her in San Fransisco (sorry Vanna!).
