January 20 - January 27, 2007 Los Angeles

I decided to move to LA. First I wanted to go out there for a week and have a good time and look for a place to live. That's why I chose to stay with Ilya. He knows where to find the good times. I arrived the night of the 20th, and don't remember the first full day. I know it included a drive around the neighborhood because I took these pictures.
Or first actual planned activity was to hike through Elysian Park.
Sunset from a hill off Echo Park Ave.
A day of hiking in Griffith Park.
And then to Barragan's for dinner with Lyz and some girl. I don't remember her name.
I spent the next day at the beach in Santa Monica, and walked the Promenade.

In the end, I didn't find a place to live. I returned to New Jersey hopeful and excited. It took a few extra months, but I eventually found an apartment.
