Saturday of our trip unfortunately was split up a bit as our friend Robin had a workshop that she had to attend as part of our graduate work in psychology at Fuller. So, Ben showed us around Chinatown in LA. We rode the Metro into the city and walked around Chinatown. We were immediately back in Beijing and missed it so bad! Those 8 weeks in Beijing back in 2004 has put a love for China in our hearts. We ate at a great Chinese restaurant that Ben recommended and went shopping in the Chinese markets. We had a great time! Thanks Ben for showing us around little Chinatown!
After Chinatown, we came back to Pasadena to meet up with Robin and decided to head to the LA County Fair. This Fair was amazing with rides that we've never seen before. And, food like we've never seen before. One of Robin's friends (holding the delectable dessert) grew up in a family that has always worked the LA County Fair. This family is always trying to top the other vendors at the Fair for the craziest types of food offered. What you see pictured is a "Mexican Funnel Cake". This cake is so large that if it was a suitcase, you'd have to check it! No carry-ons this size allowed! So, we gathered around the funnel cake like a bunch of lions around a downed zebra and dug in. I'd say about 15 people all partook of the funnel cake and ate their fill. It was nearly a miracle - or it was just a massive funnel cake. This family also offers delicacies such as chocalate-covered bacon and apple fries! The remaining pics are of us, the Blairs and AJ at the fair. Hope you enjoy!
