These photos are pending &#8216;Monika&#8217;s stamp of approval&#8217; and will be uploaded shortly.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned before &#8211; while I type these words we are in LA. In short &#8211; Los Angeles IS a shit hole. There is nothing nice about the city. It&#8217;s loud, crowded, busy and dirty. The only good thing about the city is&#8230; the mexican food (or at least the soup that we got served for dinner in our Hotel).<\/p>\n<p>After arriving here yesterday we went to Universal Studios up in Hollywood. I wasn&#8217;t sure if I wanted to spend nearly $80 for a ticket, but eventually we all did &#8211; and was not disappointment. The place is a mixture of a theme park with some educational values (interesting live performance\/show on special effects, or even the Studio Tour gave really cool behind the stage point of view).<\/p>\n<p>Overall we spent there whole day &#8211; 10am to 5pm and really enjoyed it. Photos are still sitting on the SD card of my camera and I&#8217;ll upload them shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow the girls are planning to see some LA landmarks, and on Wednesday we are leaving back to Las Vegas (which for the girls will mean shopping &#8211; and for me &#8211; gambling :&gt;).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We didn&#8217;t have much time to spare in San Fran &#8211; only 2 before heading to Los Angeles (where we are at now).
