Sue visits LA 2005

  • That will be two cups of coffee and two breakfasts please.
  • Clutching the umbrella, Sallie and Sue get ready to face the world.
  • The obligatory breakfast at an IHOP.
  • Santorini's this time. Beware, there seem to be a lot of eating and drinking shots.
  • The lovely Krystral making sure there is room at the bar for us.
  • There is indeed room!
  • As well as martinis.
  • The old Dick still has some fans.
  • Another day another two more coffees, and two more breakfasts.
  • The (lovely?) Malabo is there in the background somewhere.
  • Sydney is that way.....
  • The trusty steed.
  • Why is it the dog always gets the most attention?
  • Have Ipod and blanket, will travel.
  • On our way to Vegas. Interesting town, dull road.
  • The new lake broke the monotony of the very straight and long road.
  • Just one of the many options for a stop near the border.
  • Many better options present themselves once to you get to the strip.
  • This was the option we had trouble finishing.
  • The standard is high for house bands.
  • Matching coats.
  • Elvis took a break from flipping hamburgers at Wendy's to have this picture taken.
  • Quark's bar can be a dangerous place.
  • The drinks can be dangerous also.
  • We got a green one.
  • And a blue one.
  • And nearly got beaten up.
  • Later, the girls screamed like teenagers at the piano bar.
  • Having returned from the desert, Sue got to see the snow on Mount Wilson.
  • Einstein once peed here.
  • Yes, it's another telescope. Sue was very patient.
  • Also quite photogenic.
  • Next day, it's straight on to Olvera street and China Town.
  • Venus beach was not crowded, but interesting just the same.
  • A must do picture in LA.
  • Some work was also done. Let's hear it for never escaping email!
  • Sallie too is hooked.
  • Theo will do anything to stay away from it.
  • When not using email, we talk on the phone.
  • Back to Lucky's, the rain forcing us indoors.
  • After Lucky's we took Sue to the local Hooters, for that true American tacky experience.
  • The food was OK, and it can be quite interesting.
  • Sue even learned to make funny noises with her straw.
  • Somewhere in here there is a desert.
  • This is what happens when your roof leaks.... more work for Gerard.
  • A final home cooked meal before we pack Sue off on an airplane.
  • Oh yes, and one more lunch out too.
  • Then it's packing time.
