screw chronological order: LA last weekend

A little sunshine never hurt anyone. I mean my skin will look like leather in a few years but what the hell.
A rare shot of me not squinting/with sunglasses on.

Public transit was great. Interesting, efficient and cheap. I also got to see more of LA because I wasn't having to navigate a map while driving.

My artsy shot of me on the cruiser. It was an awesome 4 days of sunshine and relaxation. Exactly what I needed after the hectic week in Beijing. I read 3 books, worked on my tan, and taught myself to Rollerblade (I didn't fall once!).
I didn't do any really touristy activities except Balboa Island. Christy, Bobby and I had lunch their and then they left for San Diego. I hung out there working on my tan then I navigated public transit back to their loft in Long Beach. Props to myself on saving what would have been a $70 cab ride and instead was $3.50 spread over 3 buses.
The rest of the time I hung out at the beach or the roof top deck. It was perfect! I can't wait to go back.

ha ha! you have been hating on cruiser bikes for ages. now you see the glory. They are not about the workout or the fast and the furious. It's about the ambling ride, the wind in your hair, looking good while peddling by. The pics look awesome. I want to go now.
