Had a most excellent flight in Qantas premium economy (just hope they read this and give us another upgrade for the return journey!
Arrived in LA to a torrential weather system, rain and snow on the mountain areas! Just like what we had left behind in NSW. I think I can see some snow on the mountains from our hotel room.
Despite our best intentions and I am blaming the weather we spent most of our first day sleeping! But went out and braved the elements the eventually found a wonderful restaurant outside the LA public library called Pinot Noir ( trust us to find a place named after a wine!) anyway it was FAB.
I had french onion soup and then a delightful free range rotisserie chicken with the most wonderful frites which had this very subtle garlic flavour. Vince has a dugeness crab cake with cauliflower fondue and s small salad on top of a sliced granny smith apple, very visually appealing and delicious. The service was extremely professional and the sommelier recommended a very fine Napa Valley Pinot Gris.
Came home and indulged myself with watching crappy american TV, that is a whole future blog in itself. Today we are doing the downtown area and looking a some very interesting buildings.
thanks for reading!
