September 5: It Always Rains in Southern California

California Coast in the Fog

Mile 6597 – Los Angeles, California.  We drove from Carmel, along the beautiful California coast past Big Sur and Santa Barbara, with a lot of fog and gray skies.  Leave it to us to have mostly dry weather for five whole weeks, only to come to Southern California and see rain where you’re not supposed to.  It was only sprinkles, but still.

While we are in L.A., I need to give my car an oil change, do more laundry, handle my mail (which has been forwarded here), and spend time with my dad and stepmother.  I’ll take a two-day break from blogging and will resume posts on Saturday, the 8th.
