My Amazing Race

So, I've just finished a whirl-wind tour of the US west coast.

A trip that featured:

• planes, trains and automobiles (well, i ended up almost taking a train)
• the rooftop sniper. it's a long story, but in short - never piss off a sniper
• eating steak at JR's in Texas
• standing where JFK got shot
• San Francisco
  
• living in Beverly Hills
• driving Rodeo Drive
• seeing the Hollywood sign for myself
  
• experiencing the extreme heat wave
• experiencing the perfect climat of San Diego
• touching the Pacific
• driving in all day rush hour traffic
• and last but not least, thanks to all the freaks out there that made my trip interesting. ...there were of course way to many to name
