As is rapidly becoming habit, the day started with an American Breakfast. Usual things - big, filling, little needed to eat all day. I did have my first Starbucks coffee, though, so the new experiences are still coming, and saw my first LA Fire Engine with sirens going.

The porter who took me to my room last night when I arrived said that Palm Springs "Is perfect for 9 months of the year. Absolutely perfect. For the three Summer months, it's mad.

I woke up early in LA. Several times. The first time was at 2 in the morning, my body still convinced that it really was 10 in the morning. I took the opportunity to work out how to use the air conditioning properly, as the room was turning into an ice box.
