new modernism

Am on a bit of an architecture high after the last 2 days in LA. Pictures will come later but we have trudged all over the downtown area ( the oldest part of LA) braved the metro to get to LAX to pick up a hire car and then we did the FABULOUS tour of silver lake, a mid century modern haven.

Then I took the wheel as achey breaky has never driven on the other side before and head longed it out onto the interstate highway spending a good hour in the LA rush hour traffic ( you can't pay for an experience like that) and then cruising at around 80mph (I didn't see any speed signs, and that is my excuse officer!) and this evening arrived in Palm Springs, the play land of the rich and infamous and for the next 2 days the poor and notorious of Glenquarry.

I can't make any judgements yet as it was night when we got into town, but is has a great deal of mid century modern houses etc so I can bore you silly with that on the next blog.
You will be pleased to know the weather has cleared, and has been quite sunny about 16degrees C and only need to wear a long tee shirt.

talk to you again soon.
