A more comprehensive review

Wednesday morning I woke up at 5 and got on an 8am flight to LA, after some delays I landed at 1pm local time. My mom, dad and I went out to eat then met up with my extended family and played catch up. Went back to the hotel and went swimming. It was so nice to arrive in California and have it be sunny and 75 (it feels so good to be alive) compared to the 100+ it's been in Jersey for the week preceding my departure.

Thursday my mom, dad and I went to the J. Paul Getty museum. They had a few Rembrandts, A gorgeous Munch and a lot of boring paintings from exciting impressionists. There was a exhibition of August Sander's photos which was very well set upand contained some beautiful prints. I went and hung out with some friends that night after swimming again and had a laid back night (I also finished adjusting to the time difference)

Friday was a long trip from LA to San Francisco-more specifically Palo Alto-to visit my sister who is graduating from Stanford with a Masters (both her bachelors and masters in 4 years). I went out with her last night and hung out with a bunch of people from her sorority, then she snuck me in to Stanford's Senior Night which was cool because there was basically an open bar (lots of drink tickets to go around) and I got to meet all of her friends.

It's Saturday now and I'm not sure where the day is going to take us, aside from some really good food later tonight (I hope).

My sister and I still haven't planned out the route we're taking for our road trip (we leave on the 18th) but it looks like we're gonna head down route 10 and try to hit New Orleans before dodging our way back up to Jersey so that we'll be there on the 25th.

One Love,
Brett
