A Trip to Los Angeles and Hollywood
After that eventful camping trip which included a wonderful weekend at Lake Tahoe and an incident with town police. I finished the last month of my schooling required to take the cosmetology exam for a California license.
There were four students including myself that had just missed the exams in San Francisco by two weeks. Fortunately, the state board offered the exam in other cities.
The four of us decided to take the exam in Los Angeles. Jane valentered to drive and the remaining three of us would pay for the gas.
We met at our school’s parking lot early that morning where we would start our trip to Los Angeles. The time to drive was about eight hours.
As we rode along the pacific ocean, the view was gorgeous. There were beaches in some areas and calm waters, then the ocean would become violent as the water splashed onto the rugged cliffs.
After four hours of riding we needed a break to stretch our legs and use the restroom. Once in the restroom I laid my purse by the sink and went into a stall. On returning I proceeded to the sink to wash my hands.
I looked over in disbelief at my open purse. Everything was there excepted my money every last cent was stolen. Lesson learned; you are not in Vermont anymore Patricia!
