Family Catch Up

A city of huge contrast, near the cnr cafe ,(BW walled pic) there is a guy living in what not long ago was a performance V8 Mercedes sedan, with his life's possessions on the roof. This is very common here and with huge numbers of people living in cars, motor homes or tents on the streets.

Hired the car for another day and went to the African American Museum which is next to the LA Coliseum, Science Centre, which we had visited on our last trip over here. Was disappointing unfortunately, so much that they could have covered but didn't. Checked out the Rose Garden next to it, in full bloom and wonderful fragrances.

Annies navigation then took us through a very rough area, definitely to be avoided at night. Route took us to a large very flash expensive shopping centre called The Grove. This had been built to look like a Disney World with winding roads and a free train running through it. Made Robina SC look very average. Had some lunch and cocktails next to the big fountain. Then Annie went shopping in a 3 storey Nike Shop for some new running gear. The centre was being used for a Nike international marketing event called Nike After Dark Tour. A night time 21.klm running event only for women thats on Sat night with an after event party and band for the runners. Apparently there are 0,000s entered, Sydney had this event in April.

Rhys guided us to a great street pizza set up in a church car park for dinner. Only one size ..party size and they were yummyLes mer
