Hiking and then some...

What a great weekend, it turned out to be. On Friday night, I went to dinner with Ivonne. Our usual place, with our usual meals... except this time, our usual server, wasn't there. We missed him, I'll have to tell him that next time we go. After dinner, as I planned, we headed over to Grifith Park to check out the hiking route, and the directions worked out well.... Well on the way home Ivonne says, out of no where... let go to Universal City Walk... UCW is a long strip of stores, restaurants, clubs, movie theaters, and street performers.... so I said why not... so we went there... we walked around for a few hours and headed home at around midnight. It was great... the air was warm, their was enough of a crowd to make it lively, but not enough to be overwhelmed.

On Saturday, as scheduled, I picked up Ivonne, and Juvi around 945am (I was running a little late) and headed for the hike. We met up with a few friends and started the hike, right at 10:30... we went up for a about a mile, and were exhausted... mind you it was about 90 degrees out, it's a good thing we had water. Well we made it to "Dantaes View" (which is about 3/4 of the way up... and decided it was enough hiking for the day... After the hike we went to a deli had some lunch and just hung there for a few hours watching the USA vs Italy game... you know I found out that during the World Cup... the teams are not eliminated when the lose the match, rather their elimination is dependant on how many point their performance earns.... it's wierd... I guess.

Today, was good too. Laid by the pool for a few hours, even taught JoJee how to swim for a little bit. Afterwards we had a carne azada for my brother, in honor of Fathers Day... he was appreciative.... Now I am doing laundry and getting ready for tomorrow. I love weekends like this.... they make the 5 day work week, all worth while.
