I love days when I get the rare opportunity to drive just for the sake of driving. I spent about 7 hours on the roads of LA yesterday, enjoying the curves and the hills. Altogether about 130 miles. (and breaking in my new steering rack). Just me, my car and a great collection of Stax tunes.
I had a smile on my face the whole time and it just made me fall deeper into love.
My route started at the Griffith Observatory. Then I ran the entire length of Mullholland Drive. Bumpy and busy, but great views. Got off at the end and cruised Ventura Blvd for a while. Turned left on to Topanga Canyon Blvd (this is a GREAT road!) and took that all the way to the end where it meets the PCH. Drove up the PCH past Malibu and watched the sunset. Then I took my time heading back down to Long Beach, got lost in the hills of Palos Verdes. And on a clear night in Palos Verdes, you can see the entire city. I watched the Oscars from there.
ALSO LOOKING FOR OTHER SUGGESTIONS OF GREAT ROADS IN THE LA AREA.

Where the hell are we, Germany?




Excellent and affordable seafood on the side of the road Topanga Cyn Blvd.


Chewbacca getting all teary eyed as she watches the sunset:


Don't tell my mom I took this while driving:
