Today we visited Universal Studios! WOW, what FUN! GREAT rides and just COOL atmosphere!Met some very famous people too, can you name the people I saw? - yeah the photos are for my Lumsden friends and for anyone else who is a fan!And guess what Lumsden, they even had stuff there about another country we have studied - can you see what I found?
Also got to see the set of Desperate Housewifes - now that was cool - got to travel down Wisteria Lane - the actual place they film the outside shots for the show! AWESOME - Shane thought it a little boring! He did enjoy all of the 'hairy' rides though, not so much me screaming beside him, but hey that's all part of the fun right!
O.k, so that just about winds up our two days here in LA. The place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and everyone is so friendly! The weather is FANTASTIC, not too hot and not cool. Does drop at night but other than that it is GREAT!
Interesting things so far;
- the smog, don't know if I could get used to that everyday. It is like a thick grey fog that does lift but not until late morning.
- most things do not open until 10.00 in the morning but are open late at night.
- driving on the right-hand side of the road! Just too weird for me! And just so nobody is worried, no I did not get my international licence, so there is not any chance of me causing or being involved in anymore accidents than is neccessary! (If nobody already knows, yes I was involved in a minor car accident the day before we flew out! I know, I know, typical me)
- the accent! Although, they keep saying ours is really thick and hard to understand!
O.k, well that's enough from me, thanks to everyone for making posts on our blog. We are looking forward to receiving many more.
Now Lumsden, I am wondering if you can answer my questions I asked as well as keeping me posted about what's happening at Kindy. I would love to know what Tanya Batt was like. Did she do the Gingerbread Man song?
By the way, sorry about the side view photos. Don't know how to rotate them in blog - don't worry I will work it out and hopefully you wond't need to twist your head in future.
Love you all and thanks once again, keep in touch and so will we,Rakelle & Shane xxxxxx

The children were extremely excited when they read about your Universal Studio's experience. They answered all your questions and all wanted to add comments.
