driving in la

Drove my rented car to Malibu today. Finished a book and watched some surf.

Driving here is all new to me. It's a challenge. Everyone is going pretty fast, and if you're not sure about what exit you are taking it's barely possible to do a last-minute change of route. Cause there's too many lanes to cross. It feels like you need to know exactly where you are going, and not like me, trying to figure things out as I go. Like last night, when on my way home to Santa Monica, I accidentally got on a ramp and got lost downtown...freaking out with beautiful fireworks raining down everywhere..Got Susanne to guide me out of there over the phone...
