Friday night, on our arrival in L.A., the temperature was incredibly pleasant. On Saturday, a cool breeze was in the air. By Sunday, things were warming up, and today, it was said things would get hot.

While we had the entire day to spend in Los Angeles today, our experiences were full enough that we feel quite satisfied with our time here and have decided to skip the synth shop, another museum, and whatever else might have come our way and opt for an early return to Phoenix. Before we took seriously the drive home we stopped at a place for breakfast we hadn’t visited since my father passed away early in the century; Guasti Homestyle Cafe in Chino, California. If this looks like a stupid amount of food to you, it did to us, too.

About that hot weather, I just spoke of, by the time we reached Indio, California, where the majority of the city is 14 feet (4 m) below sea level, and parts as low as 150 feet (50 m) below it was hot out here, hotter than Arizona as a matter of fact. I’m quite familiar with our car getting this hot and hotter when it has been parked in the sun, but 118 degrees was the temperature while the car was moving.
