Wednesday 7th August
We arrived in LA at 7am and went and picked up our rental car, and upgraded to a ‘Dodge Caravan’ to fit all of our luggage and started driving South. We stopped at the Original House of Pancakes for a delicious breakfast stop to keep us going through the day, then stopping at Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach where there was a row of Op Shops. We drove around San Diego and drove through the Balboa Park which had some arty buildings and gardens, Little Italy and around the city and then kept driving South. We arrived at our accommodation near the border to drop off our bags and head to the Las Americas Outlet Shops near the Border. We went to Nike, which was expensive, then Levis and then on Sandra’s recommendation went to Ross Dress for Less and we never looked back!!! Hours later we emerged (Josh would say he went in and out 5 times, during the time we were in there). When we left, all the food outlets were closed, so had Carl’s Junior for dinner and then went back to our accommodation, Quality Inn and Suites near the border.
