Liz Visits!

So my dear friend Liz, whom I met in Peru (she's the director of the program I volunteered for) came to visit the last week of December through New Years!

She's originally from England and had not spent time in Los Angeles, so we did some touristy stuff and some non touristy stuff.

Sorry, I dont have many interesting stories, because i'm feeling exhausted today :P Though I'll have pictures up and this was mainly just to journal what we did.. i've already forgotten some details... oops.

Dec 29 Tues.. Hollywood walk (the stars and hand/foot prints in front of Mann Theatre), ate at Pure Luck Restaurant in Hollywood (a vegan restaurant highly recommended)
Dec 30 W.. Disneyland in the rain!.. Left for Moontribe (dance party/gathering in the desert under the full moon)
Dec 31 Th.. Moontriiiibe
Jan 1 F... Return from Moontribe... I think we went to a taco shop (Sky Taco.. amazing, but expensive, tacos)
Jan 2 Sa... Venice beach..
Jan 3 Su... La Brea Tar Pits and then dinner with another 2 previous S.K.I.P. and peace corp volunteers at Hama Sushi in Venice... then LAX to go back to Peru.

We spent quite a bit of time out in the Mojave desert over new years, but it was very much a highlight of the visit. Disneyland was alright; it was somewhat sprinkling, so that cut the crowd to about 1/3, which was still quite crowded.. still 20-70 minute lines... we were able to go on matterhorn, space mountain, pirates of the carribean, thunder mountain, and i think one other... Liz really enjoyed the tar pits as well..
