A sleep in this morning!!! Yay!! The team met around lunchtime to head to Melrose Avenue to stand in line at Pinks, a famous hot dog shop. The line was almost around the block, anticipated 1 hour long. Gorgeous Greg knew the owner, so he pulled some strings and after meeting Tom the owner, we skipped the line and enjoyed a mixture of hot dogs - titled Martha Stewarts and Today Show, with onion rings and fries.
Off to Venice Beach, with promises of muscled men, but instead we had to watch the man with the rug dip himself in the ocean. Medical marijuana available on the streets, some cheap tacky t-shirts purchased, and some very public displays of democratic views in the Western States. Enjoyed some buskers, some of whom yelled at the people who walked away without tipping!!!
Luce went swimming, trying to get home via the Pacific, but that didnt work for us....oh well, there's only a week to go.
Peter obviously missing home (he hasnt forgotten anything in a couple of days!!).
Last night at host families, so home to pack for relocation to Chino, which we've heard a bit about........cows, country, smell (just like home says Rhonda).
