Panama Update #105
December 24, 2008
The shuttle picked us up this morning at 4:oo AM to bring us to the Spokane airport. We had a nice visit in Idaho. It was short but I think everybody had a good time. We arrived with our luggage in Los Angeles as scheduled. Even with all the weather mess and crowded airports we made it from Spokane to Oakland to LA on time. My cousin Barbara picked us up at the Burbank airport and because of the holidays, the traffic was very light. We had a nice lunch with my Aunt Betty and then went for a walk around the neighborhood. LA is surprisingly and unusually cold and rainy. The weather is very similar to SF with drizzle and highs around 50. On the way back from the walk we saw a sign advertising for a foot massage in the strip mall across the street. Nikki and I both made appointments and came back later in the afternoon for a one hour massage at a very good price. I think it helped both of us a lot. We needed something like that with all the flying and weather changes we have been experiencing on this trip. This morning we started to feel the effects of schleppling our things and bodies through so many airports and cities in the last few days. Tomorrow we may go for a walk or bike ride along the ocean or see a movie, depending on the weather.
