Our stop here was a short’n, but a good’n. We stayed with Jacob Hauge, who summoned his friend Emily over to dance to ‘80s classics with us on the night we arrived. We wrung the towel of Santa Cruz dry and drank every drop in the short amount of time we had there.
When we woke up we waited for Jacob to get back from school and Emily to come over again and then we went to do some thrift shopping downtown. After that we headed up to the Mystery Spot but it was closed, so we went down to Capitola Village to see all the little houses and their multicoloured façades and walked along the pier before getting Thai for dinner.
That’s actually all we did. It sounds like nothing at all, but it filled the whole day and we left at 10pm for San Francisco, somewhat sadly.
Jacob and Emily

So LA gave you everything you would expect from LA. A bit odd, a bit grimey, A bit strange, a bit LA.
Some great pictures en route though.

Oh wow, they’re from your plane, that’s awesome. I especially like the USS Iowa pic.
