We kind of slept in this day, and I bought a local paper, and we headed back to Newport for the day. We were just checking out the girls and the cars and the scene on several of the beaches. We promised to check out LA which was north of us in the next few days. The waitresses at the House of Pies cracked up to see us in there again for another feast.
Monday
We walked to the freeway this morning, and headed up to check out UCLA. We had no idea where it was, and we just kept asking the drivers who picked us up, where things were? Bob was a maniac about Hussong's, he asked everyone about it, He found out how to get there.
We walked around Westwood, and the UCLA iconic campus and checked out Pauly Pavillion. It was pretty nice, and then we walked east toward Hollywood. We didn't take Wilshire Boulevard, we walked on Sunset Boulevard and than Santa Monica Boulevard for 5 or 6 miles. It was really hot, traffic was thick, and we took a few pictures in Beverly Hills. We were pretty parched, I think it was close to 90 degrees.
I asked Bob to take my picture standing in front of a Massage Parlor in Hollywood. It was a terrible photo, as these little cameras had no lense to speak of. When we got close to the 101, it was horribly warm and we decided to head back south. We couldn't snag a ride for 30 or 40 minutes, as cars were just rushing and gaining speed as they headed to the freeway ramp.
Finally, a new 1974 Chrysler Town & Country slowed up, and I noticed it had real fine window blinds on the back windows. There was no logo or writing on the side doors, and when the driver opened the window, a cool blast of air conditioning hit my arms. "Wow, this is the first car on our trip that has air conditioning." I said to the driver. It was a guy in his twenties, kind of a Weird Al Yankovich guy with a crummy moustache. "Come on in, you have to both sit in the front." We jumped in, I was in the middle, and the guy roared on the ramp and dove into traffic.
There was several ways to describe this vehicle. The simple description, I like to offer, is that two out of three people in that car Before we got in were deceased.
