No bike until after Christmas. Christmas in Santa Monica.

NO THE BIKE WILL NOT BE READY BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Christmas Day in Australia. Rang the family and missing them all - not a good day to be by yourself.

Day before Christmas here so the streets are very busy.

Stuck in LA for a few days watching everyone spend up big. Santa Monica has a big, flash shopping precinct. Spend the day checking out the book stores.

Another big walk along the coast.
