California: More Pics

Here are the last of the pics I'm posting. They are not up to my usual high standards of photography, but the people want to see pics! I like to give the people what they want.

I think I need to take another trip back out to CA just to make up for the lack of really great pictures. Do you think the company would fund it?

Our hotel:




The view from Ruth's balcony. She said the noise coming from the pool at 3am would wake her up. (Not guilty!)


My balcony. Not the view, just the balcony itself. Fascinating, right?


This was my view. The cab drivers waiting anxiously to overcharge the travelers. (One lady I spoke to didn't know she could book a shuttle from the airport for $20 ... she paid $150 for a cab ride.)


This is where we spent most of our downtime. Restaurants... shopping... need I say more?

Cheesy touristy pictures:



I'm really not a fan of the touristy pics, but sometimes you just have to do it (especially when your boss tells you to, right?).


The blur in the background ... that's downtown LA. Nothing wrong with the camera or photographer, the city just moves too fast.
