Visiting Friends in LA
I, like so many other people in this great nation, also love the city of Los Angeles. I have typically taken annual trips there throughout my adult life. It’s just been a sort of common destination for getting away for a day or two and there is always something to do there. During our college days my best friend Amy and I would head to LA to see a show or exhibit or something about once a month. That didn’t last throughout our entire college days, I shouldn’t exaggerate, but it probably lasted for most of a year. It was just an automatic assumption that when we wanted to get away we would head to LA. Oh, sorry, that wasn’t an intentional rhyme.
Interestingly, I’ve been in communication with some old friends lately. Two friends of mine in particular have been going through some difficult life experiences and we have been reconnecting and talking about all of this and some old times. Both of these friends happen to live in Los Angeles and recently I’ve been thinking about driving out to see them. In the process I realized that I haven’t been to LA for at least four years and how interesting it is that times have changed. I used to go to LA to get away from it all and now I’m thinking about going because two close friends live there and I want to see them. I don’t know if that makes the kind of sense I want it to, it just seems interesting to me. Well, in addition I’m wanting to go to support them and help them through their current life circumstances so I guess that’s also a part of it for me. But one thing I will definitely do which is similar to the past is find one of the Los Angels hotels by a best beach. And of course I’ll shop on Melrose and stuff like that. But this time it’s like returning to instead of escaping to.
