LA

Tegan is now on Catalina Island to start her time as an invasive plant intern! Here's some pics from our week visiting Brenda and Bill. We had a great time going around town and lazing by the pool, and had fun hanging out with them, Grandma Penny (Bill's mom) and Alesha (Bill & Brenda's granddaughter).

We've come to the conclusion that the lack of sun in the NW just makes us surlier. Everyone in LA is so polite, its weird, like overly helpful. Not that people in Seattle and Portland are rude, just jaded maybe and half depressed all the time from the grayness. Like all the ushers at the Disney Concert Hall were beyond friendly and helpful, we were so surprised! No one's that chipper up here.

We also loved that this is perhaps the only place in the world where you can go to a theme park attraction featuring footage of the current governor- that's right, I'm talking about the Terminator 2 show at Universal Studios. God bless America.
