Getting Used To Leaving

High on the short list of good things about an unsettled living situation are sojourns in new parts of LA. Gone is Koreatown because I'm now living in Long Beach. I've just started exploring and took a brisk walk from the room I'm renting through downtown to the convention center. The total trip was about 9 blocks but within a span of 3, I went from the more "gritty" parts of town into the newly redeveloped commercial area. Before long, I found myself among the glassy waterfront high rise condos and hotels. I liked the progression. There wasn't a chance for a more in depth exploration but I'm liking what I've seen.

As with everything else, I'm ultimately looking for opportunities for permanence but until then, I might as well enjoy the sights.
