Venice
Aviva, Iggy, Jett and I decided to spend Saturday in Venice – California of course. While the beach is the most famous part of town, the city is also very cool with lots of tres chic boutiques. One of my fav design shops, A + R Store, is in Venice. So we walked the dogs […]

Royce Hall, UCLA
Tiring of the rain and clouds, Aviva and I decided to take Iggy and Jett on a car ride down to the Woodfield Century City Mall – they let dogs into most of the stores and it seemed like a way to get out on my last day off. After buying a new spice rack […]

The Great Wall of Los Angeles
I had today off from work, and the rain finally subsided, so we decided to bundle up the dogs and head to the Great Wall of Los Angeles, which is not far from where we live. Here’s the description from Gowalla: “The Great Wall of Los Angeles is a mural designed by Judith Baca and […]

Malibu
We took Aviva’s brother Brian to Malibu Pier so he could go to the beach. I took a video with my iPhone of the surf (I think the sound of surf is very relaxing): The weather was great and we had a lot of fun – here are some of the photos I took with […]

Chinatown and Little Tokyo
We have company visiting and she wanted to go to Chinatown, so we headed out. After shopping for a couple hours in the Dynasty mall there (it’s a huge indoor shopping area with a bunch of vendors selling clothes, toys, housewares, etc.) we headed to Little Tokyo for another hour of shopping. While we were […]

Necromance
Aviva and I decided yesterday to drive to West Hollywood and visit one of our favorite stores in LA, Necromance (we also stopped at the MOCA annex at the Pacific Design Center, the bookstore was removed to provide more space for a video exhibition, and had a really good snack at LaLa’s). There are two […]

More pictures from Santa Monica
Aviva and I and Iggy went to Santa Monica – have you figured out yet that we both like to walk around Santa Monica? This time we did some shopping and then walked along the escarpment overlooking the beach – there is a park along the cliffs and its beautiful – we watched the sun […]

Photos from Santa Monica Pier
The IT group I work in took an afternoon off at Santa Monica Pier, which is a shopping and amusement park out over the Pacific off the Santa Monica beach. I won a small plush fish for Aviva and otherwise talked and took pictures….
