At the end of the second day of LA, it has done nothing but poor down. However, I've seen the Pacific ocean, driven across the city on the right, eaten enough burgers to sink a small dingy, and today had a shoot saved by a lovely gentleman called Miguel. We were let down by a bike rental company who were supposed to be hiring us a tandem for filming tomorrow. When we arrived at the shop, there was a big sign saying 'closed on rainy days', so we drove back down Lincoln boulevard to a shop we'd seen selling bikes.

The manager, Miguel, was in the back, and even though they don't do rentals, he not only let us use a men's bike until Saturday, but he also took us back to his house and is letting us have his tandem for the weekend. He completely saved my bacon. I couldn't believe how trusting he was, it was wonderful.

I'm zonked, and am going to hit the hay. Don't know what we're going to do tomorrow if the rain carries on like this.
