Day 17 – The Dreaded Los Angeles Traffic

We woke up early to head to Universal Studios Hollywood for the day. I added in extra travel time for possible traffic, to which Eddie said, “it’s Sunday, there won’t be any traffic”. And, boy is there traffic!

I’ve seen pictures of LA traffic on TV before and it’s even crazier looking in person. It’s not just a clump of cars moving slow. It’s actually a glob of cars not moving at all! The funny part is we are stuck in this traffic in the great old town of Norwalk….CA! It literally feels just like home.

While we’re driving, we’ve been noticing these large, dark looking clouds in the distance. If we saw these clouds back home, we’d assume rain was coming, but we know LA isn’t due for any rain. It turns out it’s all smoke from the wildfires burning in California. It’s pretty crazy to see this on the highway; there’s a lot of smoke.

Hopefully this traffic breaks up soon so we can get to Universal!
