I have arrived to Los Angeles, or almost. I’m in Santa Monica but that’s a part of LA. We arrived here at 5 pm today and it was really warm. We took a road called California 58, which goes along the beach and a little bit into the country and it’s a great road for bikers. There are almost only bikes that use this road because it’s very narrow and wavy, but it’s really fun. But now we’ve seen the MotoGP motorcycles and that was an increadable experience to see the motorcycles, the high speed and all the loud noises. Amazing! But after spending the biggest part of the day watching that, we decided to ride south and see if we couln’t find a motel. We ended up riding 250 km and stayed at a small place called San Simeon but it’s just by the beach and it’s very beautiful. But what surprised the most is what road nr.1, which goes along the beach here, is beautiful south of Monterey. I’ve said that highway 101 is really beautiful a couple of times before but this experience was the top. Steep hills, wavy roads and beautiful trees everywhere. I’m always getting more and more impressed by the surroundings here and frankly, It’s sometimes hard to take it all in. I’m saying this because I’ve traveled a lot and seen many different things so I sometimes feel that, in a way, everything looks the same. I even sometimes find myself not able to write in my diery after a day because I don’t feel like anything has happened. But when I put things in a different context I realize that it’s not true at all. What I don’t find a big deal today I might have found extraordinary a few months back. I also realize this when I talk to people and tell them about what I’m doing. But anyway, when we came here today, we met Egill Egilsson, a filmmaker who has lived here for 19 years, and he gave us a good welcome. He is the main cameraman for CSI Miami which is a very popular TV show. He is assisting us and is e.g. going to pick up dad and Skúli from the airport tomorrow. The motel where we are staying at is placed right by the beach and I feel like I’m in a middle of a hollywood movie. I’ve seen these surroundings so many times before in movies and it’s strange to actually be here. Tomorrow, on Monday, we’re just going to take it easy because our father, Dossi, and Skúli won’t get their Harleys until Tuesday morning so we’re just going to be tourists for a couple of days. But we need to change the brake pads on my rear tire, and also we need to change the oil and the airfilters, so I’ll have something to do for the next couple of days. I’m now inside an Apple outlet trying out a Mac computer so that’s how I’m blogging today. Lots of people around me, especially young black people who are playing rap music very loudly. But I just sit here and pretend to love this kind of music! But that’s enough for now. Ttyl - Sverrir
