I love the expressions. Dorf, on your right in the picture, was staying at Bekah's while I was there. Beba, in the middle, was about to go back home to Macedonia. This is where I met a guy from that country who had made a documentary about the place, one year on from some of the trouble there. I think he was really pleased to meet somebody who'd been to his country :)

(And yes, Amanda has a cast on each arm! Rollerblading.)

California. Convertible. Click. Clearer bigger . If you'd like to see the photos from my North American trip in chronological order, so my bloggish narrative makes more sense, then please view them through the set, here .

It must be the wine. :-p One of the Firestone family's vineyards — this one is called Curtis, where they experiment a bit and the excellent wine is only available direct. We met some lovely people from Arizona who asked me which wine was my favourite and then swiftly bought me a bottle of it. Thanks guys!

This is Bekah, an old old friend from waaaaay back at Sussex Uni, who I've just been visiting. In case you're seeing these photos in photostream (rather than recommended set ) order: I'd actually gone to Québec, but my tiny European sense of scale figured that it made sense to also try to fit in New York and Los Angeles...

I couldn't be in Hollywood without taking one touristy shot. The twist is that Bekah knew him! That's what I get for touring the place with a movie producer ;-)

When I arrived in LA my cabbie refused to take me where I needed to go because he didn't think he'd make it through the 4th of July crowds. It was a blessing. I ended up getting directions over the phone, getting myself into Bekah's house, borrowing her bike, and cycling across Los Angeles and along Venice Beach, having never been there before, to find a party. The perfect introduction to a new city :)
