Go Go Go

I'm just back from Los Angeles. I spent four days working with the LA affiliate on the preparation for the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2007 which takes place in late October. I have grown to love LA after having been there 4 or 5 times now. I'm surprised by my feelings, because I didn't think I would like it there. There is something about the California vibe that fits me well. Anyway, here are a few pics:

This is the port of Los Angeles, where I'm told 40% of the imports entering the US pass through. I held the camera out my hotel window and snapped this shot.

This is a closer shot. The bridge is lit with blue lights at night, and is quite beautiful.

This is the Redondo Beach Pier, which is very cool. It is lined with shops and restaurants, and a lot of people come to fish there. It makes a large "U" shape, so you can walk out and around. There are probably 20 restaurants of all types and levels, and as many gift shops.

This is a night shot of the restaurant where I had dinner on Friday evening. We had a seat on the patio where we could watch the sun set and hear the waves crashing in as we ate. I had cedar wrapped smoked scallops with shrimp and crab, spinach and new potatos. MMMM!
