California Trip
Aug - Sept 2004
While in California visiting my cousins Alicia & Rita and Alicia's husband, Victor, I took over 370 photos. It was my first trip with my new Olympus camera. We covered a lot of ground from Los Angeles County all the way up to Marin County over the period of 9 days.

The photos are broken down by day. Because we ate at so many great places during the trip, I also included a list of where we ate.
