Mulholland Drive Part II

We went on another journey through Mulholland Drive today, with success. It's hard to imagine that a back country road like that existed just outside of Los Angeles. Pat was driving unusually slow, at 35 or 40 mph, but it didn't matter because there was no one in front of us or behind us for miles and miles. Just a quiet drive through the hills....
Before the drive, we made our anual visit to La Piedra beach where Pat proposed to me 3 years ago. Due to my +30 lbs, it was especially difficult to go down and come back up that steep path that connects the beach and the parking lot. The beach is always nice; not so many people, lots of rocks, warm and sunny.... And I always remember those little tiny bugs flying around the washed up kelp on the sand, with tears in my eyes and sun about to set, as I stared at my new and shiny Tiffany diamond ring on my tiny slim fingers.... This year, of course, my fingers are so swollen that I've given up the idea of wearing that ring a few months ago. The little bugs around the kelp were still there....
