Riverside California. No much going on!

Today was a free day in riverside.  I contemplated going into Los Angeles Downtown, but the train journey was too long and the locals told me that there was not much there unless I wanted to go to Hollywood which was another half hour away.  I though I might have a look around Riverside and see what life was like.  I caught a taxi down to the main district with the intention to take a few photos.  Unfortunately, it isn't very scenic- at all!  It is just a sprawl of freeways, palm trees and smog.  It was hot too. I am looking forward to visiting the school and catching the plane home.  This will probably be my last blog post in the USA! We Fly out tommorow afternoon (thursday) from LAX and arrive on Saturday.
Here are some pictures from the day:

A traditional diner

A telephone pole that was rust coloured because of all the staples!

The Marriott Hotel where I am staying

A $1 hamburger

There were four police cars in a carpark, unoccupied and with their motors running.  When I looked arouund I saw about 8 police officers all eating hamburgers in the nearest junk food restuarant
