Saturday 21st April
Getting down to it now, spent three hours in Ikea and two in Wallmart.
The problem with hiring at long distance is rv only comes equiped with bare basics. In uk or even France one can bring a car load of bits and pieces, not so by plane.
The rv has good cupboards but no storage boxes or small spaces to contain food etc. 6 Wallmart sink bowls are doing a great job along with Ikea bedding and duvet as summer blankets are really not too warm.
Still we managed the basics though we did not like Wallmart very much.
Interesting in Ikea in the UK you can have 8 or 16 meatballs for lunch here it is 15 or nothing.
I think early one that this is going to be a somewhat cynical view of America though we shall see.
Weather today and yesterday has been hot and sunny 83 degrees F. Temperature in Farenheight, weights in lbs, measurements in feet and inches, distances in miles and petrol (gas) in gallons. It gets quite difficult to understand !!!!!
Sunday.
Spent the day with Chris and his friend Shida who picked us up at 8am and took us all over
Los Angeles with breakfast American size and style on the pacific seafront next to Malibu. Weather unfortunately was cold, damp and misty most of the day. We had a great time and part of the afternoon was spent at a Hollywood preview of a film not yet completed but which Shida had a tiny part in and which peoples opinions were being sort as music and scenes were being analysed.
The whole company of people watching and talking aftrewards were Iranian, Chris and us excepted
and lovely people they were too. So much for current portrayal of that country or my preconceived ideas !
