Photos from Asia part 1 - California

In which Old Dad R. Kelley takes Jaden and his crew to Malaysia, Thailand and Japan.

We drove to LA in the vintage '97 Prius handed down from Bill and Karen to me and then to Jaden. Still going strong! Well, still going anyway, there was some fender rub due to an incident near New Orleans on a previous road trip. Old Champagne made it there and back, I feel like everyone concerned has gotten their money's worth out of that car.

 The crew at our first stop, Sequential Biofuel gas station south of Eugene. I love this place, the sandwiches are excellent and if you need footbag or disc golf suplies they have you covered, so Oregon.

We made it as far as Los Banos the first night and stayed at this lovely hotel.

Much of California from I-5 looked like this. Also many giant almond and olive orchards wholly dependent on water from far away.
Oh, hey Central California, thanks for all the cheap food in the past and good luck in the wars to come.

The Getty Museum was amazing.

The art was great but the landscaping was the highlight for me, fully worth a visit even if you don't go inside.

We took a drive through LA to this hipster taqueria. Some delicious flavors but I just couldn't make it through the green olive and goat or whatever that was. The blood orange margarita was excellent.

One last Mexican meal at LAX
