Los Angels is Hot

We arrived in La at 7:05 after many long days of packing and a flight that went on forever. We weighed in at 525 lbs of gear at Anchorage. The Alaska airline clerk was exceptional and let us slide on the extra 25lbs.
We were greeted by 103 degree weather in LA. Spent the morning at Manhatten Beach and then on to a family reunion. Manhatten beach was full of activity. There were surfers, boogie boaders, soccer, volleyball, running, biking, fishing, swimming and sunbathing. Ellen told us the ocean is very polluted here and that Manhatten Beach is said to be the fittest area in the US. We see why with all these activities. It is great to spend time with our cousins here in LA.
Thanks to all of you who helped make our journey possible and for pitching in.

You were traveling in my old "stomping grounds" at Manhattan Beach. I sure don't miss the crowds down there. Miss you all already!

Hello all! Sounds like your weather is better than ours here in Ohio. We have had lots and lots of rain in temps in the 60's. I know fall is approaching but I really miss the warmer dryer weather. Cindy had a baby girl a week ago - Alayna Madison. We are heading out to visit her today. Please be careful and enjoy your trip. You are in our prayers. Joyce
