Malibu Sunset

John decided to surprise me with a trip to Malibu - to watch the sunset. He packed food and we sat at benches overlooking the ocean and watched the sunset as we ate. It was a great way to spend our day off :)

Sherine's Birthday

My 32nd birthday was January 25th. We celebrated with Seema and Suraj Patel (our friends from Philly who recently moved to Orange County - which is only about 50 miles away from us). On Saturday night, we all went to a club located in Venice, CA called the Air Conditioned Supper Club (www.airconditionedbar.com) - which sounds like a dumb name for a club, but they actually play GREAT music - a lot of old school hip hop. DJ Quickie Mart (ironic name ;) did a GREAT job that night.

The next evening, Seema, Suraj, John, and I went to a comedy club in Hermosa Beach, CA (www.comedyandmagicclub.com) with our friends Tee and Lawrence to watch Jay Leno perform. They also had one of the head writers from the Tonight Show perform a routine before Leno went on - and that was hilarious. It was definitely a good birthday memory!

Los Angeles Areas

Attached are some pictures of a few areas in Los Angeles - specifically, Santee Alley and Olvera Street.

Santee Alley, also known as the Fashion District, is a bargain hunters dream. We really expected something different when we heard it was the "Fashion District" (cause it turned out to be pretty ghetto :). It spans an area of 90 blocks - made up of various vendors and small shops - selling items such as jewelry for 99 cents, luggage for $3.00, and I bought a skirt for $1.00!!!

Here's some info if you are interested in reading further: http://www.fashiondistrict.org

Olvera Street is the oldest street in Los Angeles. It is known as a Mexican marketplace - open everyday, but especially crowded on the weekends, when you will find perfomers entertaining, such as singers and breakdancers. Place full of culture..
