hey guys I bet you weren't expecting to hear me I figured I'd give this voice
over thing a try... we last left you in Joshua Tree where we had a quick shower, and did some
laundry we're finally here in Los Angeles by the way if I stuck let me know then I'll
just get Bec to continue with the voiceovers good afternoon everybody and
happy sunny day we are in LA we woke up on the streets of Silver Lake area kind
of really productive morning and now we've decided let's hit that le traffic
and go to Santa Monica Santa Monica thanks for flying weds driving in LA
step two is certainly parking in a leg we've done a few laps no big deal my
buddy's crushing it no big deal we're gonna find parking
Wow look the water's right there Greg LA one day in and I'm already I'm getting
it look this is winter what are you doing
wearing my jacket might I ask the Canadian is cold in LA
game plan consists of us me and
exploring la so we've got that lime account if you remember from the vlog in
Seattle so we're gonna check if I got some some dollars on my account and get
some scooters in case you're not familiar with what a lime scooter is
essentially you pick out on the scooter from wherever you found it on the side
of the street you use an app to basically pick up the scooter
electronically and then you can drop it wherever you want within the city which
is so so cool I'm sure you pay a little bit of a premium to have that like
flexibility but it's way better than hopping in an uber on a day like today
and we're just check-in like game inside
you're mostly just excited to anything electronic huh
we realize that Becca's never phones you've only read one lime if you're
watching my blog here you should be able to read multiple scooters on one account
a stupid that you can't
maybe so I know there's a little bit controversy with these things
some people hate them some people love them overall I think it doesn't prove
the city congestion alone it's environmentally
friendly helps people get around the city I mean it does look a little chunky
no look he's got it all right the lines cost us a dollar each but we're gonna
ditch him here and start exploring Santa Monica by foot
let's go
lunch we're gonna try Cafe Gratitude which comes highly recommended from a
lot of you and what I'm most excited about is a little bit of vegan ice cream
after I think people are laughing at us vlogging in public do you think - la vie
and of course this guy's not gonna let me go by foot so we're gonna hop on a
couple of limes
Cafe Gratitude his grade up Bacchus alley and I'm gonna let her explain why
what you order here if you say I am and then the name of whatever it is you're
ordering so I am connected I am whole
deck already ordered but I am Not sure okay Doug I need you I need you to bear

grateful yeah we got to go picking I'm trying to be lemon cheesecake part and
refreshing but also really creamy and ammon's having the toasted coconut
the key and the thing I'm like so stoked on is they have a big sign that says
this is part of our initiative for 2019 to have 20% of our menu being
plant-based and they're doing a great job at that
buddy of mine old buddy of mine you ever see him ask him about the Crocs that's a
good story Sam he lives in LA he said he works at a
pretty cool spot well what's going with this light though this camera is really

comments you have to get asking you both to come to Baja to bounce movie nap
thank you so much guys this is where your way oh yeah very good riding lime
scooters while vlogging is very difficult actually riding a scooter
one-handed in general is difficult but we've got the squad rolling and it's
actually pretty cold here in LA so I'm gonna put this down before I fall
goodbye amazing day goodness only been in LA I look like a literal 12 year old
but only been in LA for like 24 hours but already really really enjoying the
city and I feel like you and I are a little bit unique in the fact that we
enjoy cities like we're definitely van Leeuw for hippies who love to be
outdoors and in nature but gosh I love going to great vegan cafe and I just
love the city like energy some tiny I would love LA but I didn't think I would
fit in this well and I think there's different sides of LA like we were very
Santa Monica Venice kind of like I feel like that whole I don't know I don't
know LA at all I've been here one day so true anyways I feel like it was a very
good vibe I really like the energy people had and also not like report
preemptively but it's been really okay to park like if you're smart and you're
stealth and you're quiet and respectful there are no problems parking on
residential streets and so is LA possible to ban life and is it enjoyable
I think yes but you'll have to keep watching to see how it unfolds nice way
to leave them hanging oh alright what am i doing I'm going to bed good night
friends good night everybody we love you guys
it's kind of a weird feeling but we are abandoning the van
