America pt11

Today was our final day in LA, we're staying in Anaheim for 2 days before we head home Sunday night.

We slept in this morning, grabbed maccas on our way out of LA and then hit the highway down to Anaheim. We got to Anaheim around midday and were told our room wasn't quite ready so we went for a bit of walk while we waited. We're just around the corner from Disneyland which I guess would be pretty cool if we were actually going to go haha, but there's a lot of 24 hours shops and shit too though... in case we get hungry at like 2am or some shit.

The motel we're staying in for this last couple of days is a bit nicer than what we had for the rest of the week. Breakfast is provided every morning, we have a pool and we have free wireless internet in the room. Good life. We also have 3 double beds (in LA we had 2 singles and a fold out. tuff days.)

After we moved all our shit into the room we hit the road for San Diego where we were meant to be seeing Unbroken at a little venue at San Diego university called the Che Cafe. We stopped at a Hot Topic at a mall on the way so I could get some Twilight shit for my younger sister, we got some food, an auxiliary cable so we could connect Sean's ipod to the car (we'd been listening to the Wait in Vain album for like 3 days now) and we were off.

The drive was a fairly long one (not helped by crappy American traffic) but it looked kinda nice (lots of views of big hills, the ocean, waves etc.) and we got into San Diego city around 5PM. First impressions are a bit nicer than LA, it doesn't seem to have many shitty parts like LA, at least from what we saw anyway. We found it kind of boring because we couldn't find a free park anywhere close to the city so we bailed to the show early, only to run into a couple of other Aussie's on the way home and find out the show had in fact sold out about half an hour before. Damn. Turns out they only let 90 payers in. Sucks to be us. However, the nice Mark and Emma invited us out to dinner at an Italian place that specialised in the art of stuffing pasta in a garlic so we decided to join. It was good to get to hang out with a couple of locals for a couple of hours, the food was rad (vegie meatballs!) and it made the trip seem a bit less worthless. We bailed for home after dinner and just like last night, have been sitting around watching TV, lurking the net and reading for the last couple of hours. Good life.

Huntington Beach and Burning Fight again tomorrow. Good life.
