I lurv Walmart and decided to make today Walmart Day. I got up early and was about to leave but on calling for an Uber I found that, at that time of the day it would have cost Uber dollars to get to the Super Walmart!! Peak time I guess.
Change of plans. I started walking with a yearning for bacon and eggs, suitably dressed in long pants because the doofus on the TV weather said it was cold. The fact is it was coolish when I left but as I walked it got warmer and more humid and I didn't want to play anymore.
It soon became obvious that bacon and eggs just weren't going to happen. Seems I was in the middle of Little Korea and whilst I love Korean food for dinner I just couldn't handle anything noodley for breakfast. So ...... I walked and I walked and I walked. Little Korea should be called Very Large Korea.
Some of the shop signs were quite funny.

| Beer Belly - Drink - Park. Can't get more concise than that |
 |
| Pho ever Yum |
I was about to try this place but I saw this sign as a SIGN!

| Find the grammatical error |
After three kilometres I spotted a KFC but no, didn't open for another hour. I continued on, getting hotter and hungrier and hangrier as I went.
Suddenly I saw that sign ahead that epitomises LA.
Nope..... Not the Hollywood sign. I'm talking about McDonalds golden arches. I settled for a sausage and egg McMuffin and a hash brown. I don't know whether it was just the 4.5 km walk or because I was hot and hungry but it tasted so much better than the Aussie version.
I finally got an Uber and arrived at the biggest Walmart ever.

More walking and shopping and suddenly all my energy went Poof! and I needed a nap. I made it to a Starbucks and tried to revive myself with a coffee but I was over it. I walked well over 10 kms today and 19 kms yesterday so a coffee wasn't going to do it.

Another Uber and back to the hotel by mid afternoon and a very satisfactory nap. The rest of the afternoon was spent doing my laundry and watching Netflix. A Good Place is a very funny show if you haven't seen it. I actually saw the set yesterday at Universal Studios.
