The Calm After the Storm

A couple of weeks ago Los Angeles was hit with a "huge storm". At least it was huge in LA standards. Apparently 4 inches is a bit too much. It caused several mudslides in the foothills where the fires destroyed the vegetation. Its kind of weird to have people evacuated from their homes because of rain. Most people just stayed put, because they knew it was ridiculous to leave bc of rain. Also I notice they shut down the outdoor escalators, why I have no idea. There is no other city in the world that shuts down escalators because of rain. Well anyway, after the storm Patrick and I rode out to the beach. The great thing about having alot of rain, it clears out the smog and you can see for miles and miles. I like the fact that I can stand on the beach and see snow covered mountains in the distance. Not that I would ever go near a snow covered mountain. If you know me, you know I'm not a ski or snowboard type of girl. Here are a few pics we took on our bike ride. Enjoy;)


This is the little land bridge that goes out into ocean, it separates the marina from Playa Vista beach. You can see the Conoco plan in the background.
