| stop 1: los angeles june 10-16th, 2000 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| first up on our american adventure was los angeles. we arrived (suprisingly non-jet lagged) on the 10th. my mom was also arriving that day, so we spent most of the day at the airport. throughout the week we did lots of shopping (time to restock on things we can't buy in japan, like shoes) and had time to take in the joys my grandfather's cooking. We even made it to universal studios and the getty museum. our last night, we got to see loads of family members, as we celebrated my cousin's graduation from UCSD. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
