Those sun-drenched beaches; those sun-tanned bikini girls; those cool evenings of laid-back style. Yes, that’s Bali.
It’s what I was thinking about when I was stuck in traffic in Los Angeles.
If You Go
So-Cal didn’t give me a peaceful, easy feeling... more like a "kill ’em all" feeling. The pressures of population and tourism make Los Angeles expensive and slow to get around, and it’s not the friendliest place. My advice is to consider spring or fall when it’s possible to enjoy attractions without day-long traffic jams. I found myself liking northern California more than the south. From the wine fields of south-central up through quirky, scenic San Francisco and north through the redwoods, there’s lots to see. But stay off the coastal highway #1 if you don’t want to be stuck behind trailers. |
