description of my recent trip around California. This is episode 289, the

California Road Trip Part 2. And this is a description of my honeymoon,

but I'm also going to tell you about the cultural geographical and historical context

of the places that we visited. And I'll give you some practical tips and teach you

some British and American English too. All right? This is part two of the

California series so let's carry on In part one I told you about the

itinerary for our trip, some of our first impressions of arriving in Los Angeles,
