Wow - I wanna move to California! So I’m on holiday at the moment - in Laguna Niguel which I think is kind of a suburb of Laguna Beach. The hotel is really nice - although haven’t managed to get in the pool yet - definitely tomorrow!

It’s really not a very pleasant atmosphere here - and I’m not sure [...]
