Glendale vs. Torrance (part 2)

So we're back from our quick weekend jaunt of SoCal. Things accomplished:

- visited three elementary schools in Glendale
- visited four elementary schools in Torrance
- realized that we can't afford to live in any of these 7 school districts
- realized that we can't find rental units in any of these 7 school districts
- realized that we must be smoking some drugs that give us delusional thoughts of grandeur
- realized that we are moving to LA and have no idea where to live

Despite all that, we also had time to accomplish the following:
- eat some yummy Chinese food
- watch some pro volleyball on Hermosa Beach
- take my "inaugural" drive on the CA freeways (it's madness out there!)
- hand-carry two boxes of photo albums, a violin, and a viola on the plane
- wander around (lost) on the back lots of Warner Bros.
- pay 40-50 cents more PER GALLON of gasoline

I feel like we're back on square one with trying to figure out where to live. Who would have know that it would be "common place" to pay $3K-$4K for monthly rent on a modest little two-bedroom house? Yikes. I thought Boston was expensive.

It must be those delusional drugs I'm smoking . . .
