Well, not exactly.
One week ago we made the move from Colorado to the Los Angeles area. Home is now the small town of Monrovia, about 20 miles northeast from downtown LA.
We have wanted to make the move to southern California for years. We are pretty ecstatic.
A few experiences so far:
I paid $4.59 a gallon for gas yesterday.
We have been blown away by the kindness of strangers.
Our new next door neighbors had us over for dinner last night for a vegan feast. It was amazing.
We love Donut Friend.
We have been to beaches at Newport Beach and Malibu and loved them both.
We had dinner at Gracias Madre which we fell in love with last summer. It is still amazing in so many ways.
We had deer in our neighborhood. Apparently there are also plenty of skunks, bears and raccoons too.
Our grocery bill is definitely higher.
I have taken the train into downtown LA three times now. Love it. As I interview I am trying to figure out the best way to get to potential jobs.
Downtown LA is incredible. And I haven't even begun to explore it.
More to come.
