Me,The Clash, and The PCH.

I recently returned from Los Angeles, CA for a lil bit of business but mostly for pleasure. The last time I had been there was almost 6 years prior and on my last go round in L.A, I missed the opportunity to meet my Father's dear friend and old Air force buddy, Andre, and his family. Sadly Andre passed away shortly after my trip, so this time I really wanted a chance to meet them all. Ultimately with me only being there for 4 three days and with all the busy schedules, I only got a chance to meet Andre's daughter Amethyst (Cali name fo sho). Amethyst and I talked and got to know each other over Thai food and she asked if there  was anything that I wanted to see in particular before I left. I knew I had to see the PCH, (Pacific Coast Highway) immediately.  It always looked so beautiful on Baywatch. Well it was freezing outside and we unfortunately couldn't drive with the windows down but the coastline of California is the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. Ame's cd kept skipping in the player and I mentioned that I had just bought The Clash's London Calling from a West Hollywood cd shop and I had it in my purse. Such a good call. Every song on that cd just worked for that drive. And to think people live there! Thanks Amethyst for the memories and I will meet the rest of the Baptiste clan next time.
