LA is sunny and warm nearly all year round (currently the fall so sun sets about 5pm) its also completely non self sustaining as reliant on water supply from Sierra Nevada about 200 miles away. Water comes in via series of aqua ducts. Massive growth in 1800s on the back of the gold rush, then oil (where John Paul Getty made his fortune) Shown where Frank Sinatra, John Candy, Bing Crosby were buried and where Elizabeth Taylor got married, twice! Saw the oil fields working on our trip this afternoon, plus some celebrity houses such as those creator of the Simpsons, Jonny Rotten and Jim Morrison. Had quick workout on muscle beach too!! Final night in LA and we took a stroll down sunset strip for a meal at a French restaurant. Then Mary and I revisited the saddle ranch for couple of drinks. There were plenty of takers for the bucking bronco tonight. Enjoyable last evening before our trip back to UK tomorrow.
