Good time with family & friends in Los Angeles

We are all Older,balder,fatter ,have “senior” moments often and we did not see each other for more years than I want to remember BUT we are old friends from High School and the Navy.

So this was a great opportunity to get together  with my 3 “old palls” that live in Los Angeles, two are from the same High School and know each other ,Sam on the left,Dan on the right and our host

 

The TRIO on Dan’s boat in Lake Forest CA.

Shula that was my girlfriend in High School and knows Sam & Dan since the good old times was of course with us too,we just had a great time correcting the world and wondering how fast did 50 years fly by.

My navy friend Samuel lives in the valley ,has a nice house and a great family , we were lucky to meet them all celebrating “Sukkot” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot in their yard.

      

While the trailer was stored in Palmdale (it will be there during the winter) we stayed with Ron (Shula’s cousin) & Sara , they were perfect hosts and made us instantly feel at home ,we went our for dinners,movie and a Regatta .

   

So after a great RV summer trip that covered N.Colorado-Utah-Nevada and East Sierras we had fantastic time with family and friends in the City.

Thank you all for your kind hospitality ,will see you all again in the next summer and not after 50 years ….

Down Town Los Angeles

Los Angeles down town is spread and can not be done by foot in one shot,so during the week end Rony and Sara took us to the focal points in Down Town L.A to us the big city…it took 4 times to park  ( not easy)  and explore the area by foot while the temperature was in the 100’s…luckily we carried a big bottle of water with us.

  

If you want to feel the “beat” of a town then go to the local market, and L.A has a huge covered one with air-condition to escape the heat,you can shop,eat ,drink or just wonder around.It is colourful,clean and a great place for shopping.

Afternoon we made our way to China Town,an area with many small/big shops,market ,squares and restaurants,it always attracts us to see the architecture,the colors and feel the cooking smell coming from all directions, we of course had a fantastic meal at the well known and recommended place by Rony & Sara.

Siesta time at work…

   

 

I noticed that Eilat a Sister city to L.A is “only” 7744 miles from here ,“just” around the corner…it kind of feel like “home”.

That’s it for today,we were more tired than hiking 5 miles uphill…
