Leaving Las Vegas - June 4
We have finally arrived! After 2 weeks and 3500 miles on the road, we just checked into our motel in Hollywood. Though it may sound glamorous, Hollywood is actually pretty seedy but I'm just happy to be here. After eating food from Denny's and Taco Bell while on the road, I definitely need to detox my body and get back into my exercise routine.
After seeing much of the country, I would definitely recommend a cross-country trip to anyone with the time and money to do it. We took exactly 2 weeks for our trip (but it can be done in much less) and spent about $1500 between the two of us, including food, accommodation, gas and sight seeing. That amounts to about $100 a day, which is a reasonable price. The United States is a vast and beautiful country with tremendously diverse topography and culture. We saw mountains, deserts, forests, grassy plains, lakes, rolling hills and everything in between. We saw people of many races, cultures and ethnicities. And we've only seen a small part of what there is to see! From Washington, DC to Los Angeles we passed through only 11 states will leave the rest of them for another trip. Right now, I just want to rest and lie on the beach for a few days :)
Now that I'm in LA, I'll be starting another blog for my experience here. I'll be here for 2 months participating in the "Summer in LA" program sponsored by my film school (American University). During the day we'll be doing an internship of our choice and at night, we'll be meeting with producers, writers, executives and other filmmakers who are working in the film industry. Overall, I'm looking forward to a lot of fun and hands on experience in the movie capital of the world! Stay tuned....

Navin, beautiful pics! Your mom looks too young to be your mom. Glad you had an adventure across the country. That's the way it ought to be. Best of luck in LA - I won't be out for LA Film Fest so you'll have to do it up for both of us. Hugs to Gilles for me!
