Our circuit of California continued down the state line with Nevada, where we holed up in the kind of spit ´n´sawdust towns you´d never see on the Californian coasts, driving along desert roads and stopping off in old time American diners serving endless coffee.

Well I’m here in Auckland updating the Santa Monica bit of the trip so already the enthusiasm for blog writing is waning!

San Francisco, Union Square, 22-11-2002. I start my day with the usual big coffee drinking it outside on United Nations Plaza. It is early yet and I love seeing this cozy city wake up. Sitting here in my faded jeans and sweaty T-shirt I feel oddly out of place. Business people in expensive suits hurrying Read More »
