Attention: This is yet one more post that originally had but one photo and maybe 100 words that told of our day. Here in late 2022, this oversight is being repaired.
Moving slowly today after our marathon Disneyland visit, we meandered across Los Angeles on city streets, making our way from Anaheim through Cypress and Long Beach, where I stopped to take this photo of the San Gabriel River.
North, the streets took us up to Cerritos.
Wandering over to the intersection of Bellflower Blvd and Flower Street.
Before hitting Valley Blvd in Monterey Park and taking a left, that brought us to the Ming Ya Buddhist Association.
At the corner of Main and Daly in Los Angeles, we would soon be in Chinatown.
Back across Sunset to Hollywood Boulevard on some strangely quiet streets.
We failed to get breakfast earlier, so Oki Dog acted as brunch, and well, I don’t think there’s a better brunch in all of America.
We followed the road to Mulholland Drive for some beautiful views of the San Fernando Valley
Finally left the small streets and merged onto Highway 101 for our first visit to the Pacific Ocean on this trip.
Just a few feet to the left is the Pacific Ocean, on the right is Highway 101, and in the center is the train track for the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner.
Our ultimate goal today was to visit our aunt and uncle in Santa Barbara; this was not them.
Very nice photo.
Hey! I just got my cleaning kit today and have spent few hours working on my Nikon D70S. I finally got it all clean. It’s not as hard as people say and once I touch the sensor the first time, my fear of scratching the sensor are GONE!

John:
Just a side notes. If you are going to buy the sensor cleaning kit. Make sure the swiper size is for your Canon. I heard people said that cleaning Canon is easier than Nikon, because Canon is using CMOS sensor (with stronger sensor protection) and do not have the side wall around the sensor like my D70S does.
My sensor swiper is 14mm made for Nikon, but it is actually 2/3 of the sensor height. So I have to swip back and forth. I would make my own swiper wider next time. For more information, you can find how-to here.

Let me know how it goes! Thanks!
Hi John:
It’s me again. I followed your steps and actually bought a Garmin eTrex GPS. I could not afford the pricy Vista CX. I tried to load the waypoint manually into an XML file and read it with Google Map API. It does what I expect to do and show the spot and path of the trip I did this morning.
Please take a look. Thanks for your inspiration. 🙂
