Hanging out on Santa Monica Pier

These days, they make you a clay statue of you on the spot. The price
varies from $10 to $20, depending on your negotiating skills and the
opportunity cost of the vendor.

Hiking the Temescal Trail

It's a beautiful trail in the Topanga State Park. Took the Temescal Canyon Rd to the end, drove through some very high-rent neighborhoods of pacific palisades and picked up the trailhead. It was a 1 hour stroll through lush vegetation and breathtaking views of the oacen, Santa Monica, LA and beyond.

Ocean, Mountains, Ritzy Neighborhoods, all you need is lo... I mean Money

Surfing at the Manhattan Beach

Eyes burning, feet sore, nose, face and neck sun-burnt! We went surfing today, or something that invloved dragging around a surf board in cold waters and getting knocked around in big waves, fighting rip tides and undertoes. Lots of fun though, and we almost got the hang of it.

Sight Seeing Day

Drove to Hollywood yesterday. Passing through Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Redeo Drive, etc.
Beverly Hills is aperently 25% persians with an Iranian born mayor. I still don't think we'll be moving there anytime soon!

Here are some pics:

Just set up Carly with her own blog.
Had a decent Thai dinner last night. California Thai spring rolls look like this and taste like a delicious rolled up salad.
