Tram & Paul in the UK

Hi Everyone,

We made it after a very long flight from Brisbane to Auckland (2 hour wait) to Los Angeles. We were very tired when we arrived, but we managed to visit some relatives and have a nice dinner.

Today we woke up early and went for a swim and spa in the heated pool at the complex that we're staying in. We then watched half a movie on cable (swimfan and I-Spy) before heading off to downtown to watch an indoor gridiron game.

The game was awesome, and very loud. Americans are all show-offs and love seeing themselves on the big screen. It was a great atmosphere with heaps of music but not much football :) The funny thing was, at half time they had the rugby 7's old boys playing from some college. They were worse than my touch team! We bought some lunch at the game and it was huge. No wonder so many people over here are overweight.

After the game we headed off to Venice Beach. There was heaps of traffic, and it took about half an hour to find a car park. Tram got another henna tatoo (temporary) and we took photos with life guards and on the pier and with the LAPD. Tram suspects that she saw some famous people :)

There was also several street entertainers, and one guy who was doing the robot, but he was so much better than we've seen before. He looked like MC Hammer, and if he was in a limbo competition he would win it very easily.

That's about it so far, it was a very fun filled day. Tomorrow we are off to Universal Studios. We're going to try to put some photos on here, so check them out!
