For future reference: Sunday afternoon is not the best time to drive from Las Vegas to L.A.
Yeah, I should've known this. Oh, well. The drive only took an hour over what it should have, so it was not honestly all that bad. I just could've timed things better. Oh, and it might have been a bit faster except for there was a MATTRESS in the middle of the highway that caused a huge congestion. And someone's dog got run over, and I couldn't help, having seen Watchmen so recently, still in my head, "Dead dog in alley this morning..." Only no blood.
Stopped at a Starbucks (as if I won't find a million of them in Korea), and evidently the girl who took my order for a large (I can't bring myself to order "Venti") Spiced Apple Cider, anyway, apparently she had never known anyone named Chloe. She spelt it like "Zoey," "Cloey."
But we finally pulled into Santa Barbara where my mother's friend lives. She made us jasmine tea and took us to a vegetarian place (which wasn't exactly vegetarian although it did have vegan desserts). Ordered a really fancy spaghetti and meatballs which was a chicken sausage meatball and organic linguini. Delicious garlic bread...ummmmmmm.... Pasta was okay, good, nothing special. Also split a slice of chocolate espresso cake.
And now I better reorganize my bags. Tomorrow I've got to deal with the Korean Consulate. Knock on wood that everything goes smoothly.
