A Haven from Traffic

A friend was in town from Austin with her family this past weekend, and on Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. I drove to West L.A. to pick her up. I learned a new lesson-- Friday afternoon traffic to the coast is best avoided. Oy vey! It took me an hour to drive about seven miles.

Once I picked her up we made a stop at The Lake Shrine at Sunset and PCH; it's a picturesque Hindu oasis tucked away from view at that intersection. From there we drove to Topanga Canyon (again, slowly) and caught up on things while we hiked.
