La-La Land

I'm back in the States after 16 months away! This time I broke up my trip on the way home with a stop in LA (well, Ventura County) to visit my good friend from Purdue, Darci. It was such a great trip! I hadn't been to visit her out there since 2007, so it was a good opportunity to see how her life has grown, and she was such a sweetheart to put up with me and my reverse culture shock.... "Oh my God, look at all the triscuits!"....
