I would also like to add the following video. Had to wait until Phoebe was all better from her brush with bronchitis, so it would be funny and not sad.
Amen.

Upon our return to the El Pueblo Historical Monument, Elena and I set to the task of editing text on Chinese New Year festivities. With our prowess in languages, we edited the piece in not one, not two, but, three different languages. Though I must admit my traditional Chinese reading abilities are a pretty rusty.
After leaving the office at 6:00p, Elena and I were successful in locating an Armenian restaurant in Glendale, supposedly the largest community of Armenians outside of Armenia. Funnily enough, the restaurant is called Elena’s Greek and Armenian Restaurant. We ordered far too much food (a plate of quail, shish and lamb, tabule, and falafel) and enjoyed every bite of it. Though we didn’t get to Zankou chicken, the Armenian food we had at Elena’s was scrumptious.
At this point in our trip Elena and I are desperately trying to cram in as much as we can. It will be pretty much impossible for us to get to everything done on our list. I suppose I will just have to come back next year…
Please send an e-mail to Phoebe or myself telling us anything strange you may have noticed about this photo taken in the plaza. To enlarge the image simply click on it. Best of luck to all.

We are going to give you a rare peek behind the scenes into the true magic of cataloguing museum collections. We only look uptight because museum work is SERIOUS business. Enjoy.
PHOEBE DICTATES
ELENA UPDATES
Hopefully some of you are interested enough to still be reading about our misadventures here in the land of magic, ethnic diversity and sunshine. I promise the following post is full of intrigue, excitement and racy pictures. It is my duty to relay how Pheobe and I spent the remainder of our weekend. So here it goes:
SATURDAY
Saturday was GREAT! Phoebe and I were lucky enough to go to the beach on a day when it wasn't too terribly crowded. Venice beach was very cool and we were so relaxed by the end of our day tanning and playing in the ocean waters.
We made a pit stop by In-N-Out on our way home. It was a happy occaision for both of us! Then we headed home, showered and were whisked away to the LAX Hilton for a Chinese Engineering convention dinner. Let me tell you, Engineers=questionable partying capabilities. Really, though, it was a very interesting evening wherein we learned a lot about Disney's imagineering program and the upper echelons of Chinese society in Southern California. Still no husband for Phoebe...
The three of us outside the park entrance. We wanted to take a picture with the giant C, but some lady had parked herself and her seven children on it...
What did you do at work today?
Oh, nothing, just paraded around as a catepillar's butt. How about you?
Just a quick post between the beach and dinner. In about ten minutes we will be whisked away to the LAX Hilton where we will be attending a Chinese Engineer's dinner. Phoebe may come back engaged...stay tuned. In the meantime enjoy our adorable beach clip.
