Mikes and April's dogs were pretty good too.
ate at Diddy Riese twice,
drove through Hollywood,
went to the Grove and Farmers Market,
saw the La Brea Tar Pits,
toured the LA Temple grounds,
visited Uncle Dave and Aunt Mary Lou,
picked fruit at the orchard,
toured the fashion district,
inadvertently toured the warehouse district (or as Catherine called it the crime district),
toured the flower district,
drove through Downtown and China town,
listened to lot’s of podcasts while we were driving
walked through the Venice Canals and saw Venice Beach,
ate at C & O’s where April ordered the “chicken sink”
drove through Malibu,
drove almost the entire length of Sunset Blvd in to legs,
turned over 100,000 miles on the Ford’s odometer (Gloria-what he have named our GPS-was an excellent guide),
ate at Natalie Thai,
and had a wonderful time.
We hope that our guests will all come back sometime when the weather is good.
We decide to go hiking today so we spent the afternoon hiking in Runyon Canyon with the dogs. The canyon starts almost right off of Hollywood Blvd. 
It offers beautiful views of the city (the white line in the above picture is the Hollywood sign) and is a perfect hike for dogs. They had a great time running around. We stopped by Jalisco's on the way home for some al Pastor.
On the way back we ate at Jalisco’s. This is a whole in the wall that has best al pastor I have had outside of Mexico.
Mike and Catherine came down to visit us and get the So Cal tour this last weekend. Unfortunately the weather was the worst I have ever experienced since I have lived here. But we did get a break from the rain to visit the San Diego Zoo.
(Camels are April's favorite)
walked through Bel-Air,
(Catherine and I both got the Lord of the Rings Dog, always a good choice)
(I haven’t even started eating it yet and my fingers are already covered in barbecue sauce)
