Nobody Walks in L.A.

That's something that struck me while in D.C. Everyone there walks - and not just like a regular pace. They power walk. It's like they're all trying out for some walkers' marathon or something. It's kinda crazy.

So being an outsider, especially one from Los Angeles, I didn't really blend in very well. Though I did love the little neighborhood my cousin lives in. It's very trendy urban, complete with quaint cafes, beautiful buildings, and the gays! And apparently it has one of the highest concentrations of lawyers in the country. If it wasn't overwhelmingly hot and humid for 4 months out of the year, I might consider moving there.

Anyway, I totally enjoyed spending the time there, and I really do want to go back some time soon. I may plan my next trip for when it's snowing though. It will likely have WAY less tourists (i.e. less screaming children and maybe even less children on the planes? Hope springs eternal). And I would love to see the Supreme Court in the snow. I think it would be even more breathtaking.

Regardless, I would be one of those people who was constantly bitching that there was no parking (or I would have to pay an extravagant amount of money to live in a building with parking). Because, as the song says, nobody walks in L.A. And I'm not one for bucking many L.A. trends.

Happy weekend!
