Day 5... (The Midway Point)
Five days in. We are halfway through our trip. Today was a chill day because the weather here in sunny Los Angeles was... well... Not sunny. It was cold and rainy all day. This is, of course, due to the fact that where ever I go, I bring Chicago with me.We started the day eating breakfast at a 50's style diner run by what seemed like one single Armenian. He was a really nice guy and was running around from table to table, serving, taking orders and conversing. This lead to a trip around downtown Burbank which reminded me of downtown Evanston in a very pleasant way. We shopped a little bit more and I (about time) found something for Vicky (surprise, surprise). The weather brought me back home for a few moments at a time. Each raindrop that hit the bill of my hat gave a jolt down my neck that said I had better hurry into my car to beat the traffic on the Kennedy...
We finally got to see the Japanese Garden and Tea House at Brand Park today. Though not huge on space, the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The visual plethora of colors from the green grass to the white cherry blossom trees to the giant gold fish in the pond certainly did a number on my senses even in this grey, dreary weather. I don't have any pictures but perhaps soon I will because Kamelya had her camera with her.
Later, we went to some more shops on Glenoaks Blvd. and came back to the hotel. After an
hour of waiting around, Helga and Adam came to pick us up for more Persian pizza at 7 Stop Pizza. Adam continues to try and get more hookups for us as we can only rely on phone calls from friends of friends to get us onto studio lots. What a sweetie. ^_^ I talked with Vicky for a while on the phone outside the retaraunt while waiting for the food and kind of felt like a jerk, but it didn't matter... I miss my girlfriend.After 
being dropped off at the hotel, Brian and I played a round of 501 at our newly-discovered bar area on the first floor. After coming out triumphantly, we found the gym and then taught Kamelya how to play Texas Hold 'em in our room.

A fun time being had by all, not even the crummy weather could squelch this day. Good. Day...
