When we left Los Angeles last year, our friends asked when they would see us again. The answer didn’t take much thought: Next time it gets cold everywhere else!
Well, it’s pretty much cold everywhere else, and as part of our meander down the Pacific coast we recently spent four days in Los Angeles catching up with friends. Our days were pretty jam-packed, but we LOVED seeing a lot of the people in LA who we care about. In no particular order and non-exhaustively, there were…
Our actor / performer friends Lucas and Jimmy, who we met last year through Ayo’s training at Gymnastics Olympica.

The Dermers, who we parked next to for our stay. We spent Shabbat together and had hours of great conversation. (Thanks for the electricity, guys!)

We went hiking with Ian from our Birthright trip, his girlfriend Geena, and our friend Marc (and Zalman, the dog he was dog-sitting for).

We also hung out with friends Shani and Shawn, and went to two awesome Chanukah / Christmas parties. On the way down to San Diego, we stopped in Irvine to see our Birthright friend Sharona, along with two of Ayo’s college friends. We’re now in San Diego, enjoying clear skies and heading to Sea World shortly.
