LA Flood-2010

Thanks to Cessa and Jeremy for putting us up in LA! We had a great time during our last couple of days in the US. Thanks so much for showing us around and of course for our last hot showers!

LA had the worst rain storm since 2005...we were there. Even though the roads were flooded and the LA residents were scared to go outside because they thought they were going to melt...the exploration pushed forward.

We went for dinner in Manhattan Beach because Court's brother was in town visiting friends, Tommy and Kate, for the weekend. Thanks for dinner Colin! It was nice to see him before heading off.

Good news Durham Family, LA now FARKLES!! Please see post for details on the game we are attempting to share with the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkle

Hanging with the hipsters at Cha Cha

We spent the evening farkling in the "Cha Cha", a hipster bar in Silver Lake which used to be a gay Hispanic bar, which has hundreds of sombreros on the ceiling and nudy magazine pictures wallpapering the bathrooms. Please see photo booth pictures.

The following day, after Courtney felt pretty rough in the morning from all that farkling, the whole crew went to the Observatory that overlooks the whole city. Dash, Cessa's pup, came with. Apparently you can take dogs everywhere but Starbucks in LA. The skies were still cloudy but we got a few shots with the Hollywood sign in the background....Lee's goal of the LA trip!

To end the trip, we munched on some delicious Fat Burger (mmm, makes you want some right now), took a quick nap, and headed to the airport!
