Path

Hi,

Today is our last day in the U.S.A. Yesterday was a day for business, and some final goodbyes. We even managed a nap.

'Easy Monday' was brought to you by The Kinks, singing "Tired of Waiting for You". Next up, 'Summer of Love'. I would be delighted if you can tell me who sang this song. "I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise. I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes. __ __ __ __ __ ....." Hint: This band was a smashing success at Monterey. About something done with the eyes.

Tuesday morning we got an early start that took us across town to take care of some financial arrangements. Every now and then we need a little thing called money to survive. (Ha) We visited with a few friends at the same time.

What would a trip to L.A. be without a stop in Chinatown? We got a taste of rush hour traffic, but it didn't take long. It was so early when we arrived that many of the shops weren't even open yet. There were also very few shoppers. We strolled the aisles and found a few things, went by to see some old friends and got an update on their kids. It's much more fun when the whole thing is wide open, and full of shoppers. Oh well, we'll be back at the Night Bazaar before long.

We met our friend Blue for lunch at Emerald Thai. It would be our last chance to see him until he comes to Thailand in March. The lunch also gave us an opportunity to say goodbye to Nid, who runs the place. He is a very dear friend.

In the evening C-Bass had his last driving lesson. I guess by the time we return in the summer, he'll be an old hand at driving. I watched some soccer with him, and later August worked out on the X-Box Kinect. We're gonna miss The Boys, but we'll stay in touch through Skype.

We fly out at 10:45pm, which means we have to start the leaving process at around 7pm. I'm not sure when you'll receive the next message from me. Trying to figure out the time is driving us crazy. (555) If you don't see a message in the morning, it might arrive in the afternoon some time. I can't wait to get back to the routine of writing from Thailand.

It's been great being here and seeing those of you we visited. If we didn't get to hang out, maybe next time.

It looks like a Wacky Wednesday.

Peace,
Danny

"The path to our destination is not always a straight one.
We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back.
Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on.
Maybe what matters is that we embark."
