LA

we're in LA atm staying in a road off of hollywood blvd. tuesday we went to look at all the stars (found marilyn monroe and johnny depp amongst others)
wednesday was spent at universal studios. it was raining so there were no queues! we were however accused of bringing the weather with us. You lot go it back half way throught the day though - have fun with that :p The tour of the studios was definitely the best bit. we drove through the road where desperate housewives is filmed (and took some photos for Ruth and Jo)
The rides were great too but were kinda short so we were glad we didnt queue for them
Yesterday we went to venice beach and spent the day walking along the sand - first bit of exercise since we left. It was sooo much cleaner than english beaches but Lisa (our room mate) said it was really dirty compared to the ones in australia - it can only get better! I was ill last night but fine this morning so were off on a tour to rodeo drive etc shortly and then window shopping on third street promenade.

Anyway, gota go as i only have a couple of mins left!

Hi Em,
Not sure if I've done this right, I think I've got a blog account but who knows!?! What do I do with it, ha ha! I'll soon find out I guess.
So has California got any sunnier? Are you bored of LA yet and moving on somewhere else?
Not much going on here. First snow of the winter is due any day now, possibly even 2nite so no doubt you'll have a snigger about that while you're all running around in your swimwear.
Anyway just wanted to say hi. Like the other older generation members (ahem! not mentioning any names Karin or Siobhan!) not sure yet how this works quite so will get off for now and check back in soon.
Take it easy girls, enjoy!!!!
Lotsa luv,
Catherine xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm impressed to see that the older generation (you gave our age away aunt caff) are blogging so well even in the 70+ range - well done grandma. Everything to excess girls - you only live once - I recommend shopping and talking to the local males (only the nice one though) however caution is advised with excess sun and alcohol. Keep having safe fun and I look forward to reading the next chapter. lots of love Siobhan, etc...
