Today

Our host are native LA'ers, so today they will bring us on a whirlwind tour of LA and surrounding areas. Whirlwind is a key word, but still we will see alot and get a feel of the culture with our tour guides filling us in. Should be lots of fun.

Then we will fly out at 11:00pm, sleep through the flight and arrive home in Syracuse at 9:00am Friday morning. Whew!

We have discovered some technical faux pas made by Julia and it leaves us wondering how it may have effected the outcome. One of her judges will be sending us some info to help her next performance. We look forward to hearing from him. It was kind of him to take such an interest. It also shows that they genuinely feel she has great potential. So, although the mistakes may have been costly and are truly discouraging, there will be lessons learned (we certainy hope!) Expensive lessons -- maybe that ensures the learning...

Off to L.A. Happy day, wherever you are!
