Counter Culture

...So we flew back down to LA - I never got my beloved Coast Starlight - and we're now at some backpacker's place or other. We've just had the most wonderful night-time bathe in this abnormally hot swimming pool under a full moon. Richard mentioned how quiet it was. I assured him that the place was full - it was just that all the other travellers were indoors glued to their laptops.
This weird epidemic is changing the face of travelling I'm sure. Whereas you once walked into a cafe / common room and got lively faces, bustle and chatter, now you just have an intense humming noise and 30-odd gormless expressions. I wonder what it is they're all doing?
Ah. Time to log off now, I suppose
