It is interesting that she at least understood the basic nature of the smog problem in LA.
Visited Amsterdam and stayed out way too late. Walking past all of the litter, bums and drunks in the streets and plazas back to the hostel. Maybe only 3 hours later had to leave and catch a train. The sun was just starting to come up. Rays of sunlight sparkling on the water that remained on the perfectly clean and EMPTY streets. It was REALLY weird. Reminded me of that movie Soylent Green.
I assume this was Amsterdam, Holland. I visited there in 1962 and 1966, when it lived up to the reputation of the Dutch for being neat and tidy.
