 Returning to LAX, warmly picked up by our friend Lowell (who snapped this shot by the way). |
 Dot happy to be back in the USA or just reacting to news of Mexican lunch as our first meal stateside. |
 Continuing to close the circle, our friends Morina and Zander wined, dined, and housed us at this wonderful Santa Monica house. |
 Paul went to a Volkswagen show in Orange County and saw a few unique cars, this one made out of wrought iron. |
 Funky bug at the VW show. |
 This might be useful for our trip to the Yukon. Tank you very much! |
 Dot, Tom, Brett, and Paul enjoy luscious ice cream after a fun-filled, martini-centric sushi dinner in Venice, CA. |
 Zander and Morina invited us as their guests to the world premier of Windtalkers at the Mann Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Nicolas Cage's latest movie. |
 We got this close up of Nick when he realized we were the coolest people lined up out front. |
 Unfortunately he mistook another group of hipsters for us....that's ok, the movie was way too violent and kind of sucked anyway. |
 In front of the Mann Chinese theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Someday this photo will seem ironic, when Dot gets her own star on Hollywood Boulevard. |
 Paul and Mt. Shasta northbound on I-5 in northern California. |
