Day 11: Free Wifi. I'm lovin' it

Today was just one of those pretty relaxed days that we're bound to have (and need) occasionally. We spent most of it just outside of Joshua Tree National Park in a McDonald's trying to find a last minute couchsurfing host, since all of our previous requests had been denied. Thanks to the emergency couch request group for LA on the Couchsurfing site, we were found by Jim, who offered to host us for the night.

The drive from Joshua Tree to Los Angeles was a short one, although we were greeted with some familiar traffic right outside the city. It was a nice change of climate as we exited the desert and entered the much more temperate coastal region of California.

Our host took us, and the other couchsurfers, two Chinese ladies whose names I can't spell, to an excellent Chinese restaurant near his place in Alhambra, which is about 5 minutes drive from downtown LA. Unfortunately we couldn't find a place right in the city, but we were close by, so we'll have easy access when we head out to explore Los Angeles in the morning.
