L.A. Pictures

.......aaaaand then life happened. But if you've ever had vertigo then you'll believe I had a good excuse for not getting these up before now. Anyway, here they are, the snaps from L.A. Nothing terribly thrilling, but proof that I was really there:

- The gluten free, dairy free bakery!


- The Hollywood sign as seen from my friend's neighborhood. (It's in there, I swear - on the hillside.)


- At a stoplight on Rodeo Drive (I couldn't resist).


- Much to my mother's chagrin, this was the only photographic evidence I produced that I myself was actually in L.A. Sorry, Mom.
