I love America in general, and Kinko's in particular. At 9 pm I was able to print out documents, fax, copy and even download my pictures with the help of a friendly older employee of the store. It only took 40 minutes and 15 dollars and the man thought I looked like a fashion designer from New York. Only in America can you get things done so easily and painlessly.

Naturally, I got lost on my way to Santa Monica from Hollywood but one has to get lost at least once in LA. I went to see my father's old friend who lives in a beautiful area of Santa Monica in a really nice house. His wife (I think wife number 5 but perhaps even 6) is lovely and I had a great time driving around checking out how the wealthy people live. Afterwards I went to see the Diane Arbus photo exhibition at the LACMA, which is definitely worth seeing (should anyone come to this corner of the world).


You can see pretty much all of her photographs and she really knew how to pick her subjects. And she was a fascinating woman who had interesting things to say.

Tomorrow I am going to hit the road for real. Next stop: Rio de Janeiro.
