Nomad’s Land, Days 33, 34 and 35

I am in Los Angeles. I made it.

This will be brief until I’m able to get back on later. The last three days (one in Joshua Tree National Park and the two days of driving that followed) have been… insane.

After arriving at the hotel here where 700+ other kids who grew up in Saudi would be spending the next three days, the first person I would see would be another brat from the class of 1960-something. Hugs, talks, more brats…

I spill a latte onto my laptop JUST as I finished downloading photos from the prior two days.

I don’t know if I can get it fixed. For those who would ask, yes, there was sugar in the coffee. Ten raw sugars.

I may see if I can get someone to look at it today.

But I guess the big news is that I’m here. I made it to LA. 35 days of traveling and I’m here.

   I’m glad you are safe… even if your camera and laptop are worse for wear..

   Hey Scott! It’s great to hear you made it to LA! I enjoyed experiencing your journey vicariously, and hope that you will continue to recount your experiences now that you’re out there. I’m sure you will be able to put a different spin on the city and shatter a lot of the preconceptions people have about it. I look forward to reading your observations. Good luck with the lap top!

   [...] some of you may remember, last year when I arrived in LA after being on the road for 35 days, I fried my Mac. I bought a laptop while out in LA and then had to go through the process of getting software [...]
