Thanksgiving in LA (click on me!)

We greyhounded it up to LA to visit some friends for Thanksgiving.  The greyhound wasn't bad...seemed clean and the employees were nice.  But for some reason the LA greyhound station is located in a somewhat sketch area.  I suggest having someone pick you up or taking a taxi to your destination.  Too bad GH doesn't have a place for bicycles...that would've been perfect!

The pretty mid-day sky of Oceanside on our way up.

Tony & Ben were the awesome hosts, doing most of the cooking, though everybody brings a dish of something yummy.

Here's about half the food and Tony on the phone.

Carlos out-classes us all.

There was a sweet calendar on the wall made by Ben's brother.  It was one of those typical nice calendars with family pictures and various wisdom-filled quotes.  But the quote below was truly the best.  Maybe it was a reminder of how to get through the holiday season?

We ended up playing touch football for a couple hours after dinner, but didn't have a football.  So we took a tennis ball, wrapped some cloth around it and then duct taped it into a foot ball shape.  Worked pretty good, but was a bit slippery in the night dew.  A lot of the neighborhood kids wanted to join in, which was cute.  I don't remember who this is holding the football, but she's quite nice.

I had to take a photo of this guy, because I thought it was weird that he was wearing Guinness swim trunks with a leather jacket.

The day after Ben, Jason, and I went out to Japan town for oodles of sushi.  And beer.  Perfect way to send us home on the Greyhound!
