Day three was probably the best part of the trip, I saw my friend Clare who I hadn't seen in 20+ years. She has the cutest little boy that Max just loved (right up until he grabbed Max's hair and wouldn't let go)

We met Clare in Fairfax, one of the Jewish districts of LA. Only here would you find kosher sushi

This is the Hand of Miriam that was above a doorway at the restaurant in Fairfax. It is also known as the hand of Fatima for Muslims although it's believed that the symbol is actually much older than either Judaism or Islam

20+ years, 2 religions and 2 babies spanned the last time we met, but she felt like my best friend again in minutes ;-)

Back on the road again. This was the view I saw for a long, long time.

We visited Fort Tejon in the grapevine for a little bit. It was kind of "meh" but good to get out and stretch our legs.

After a billion miles of desert (and conservative talk radio the only thing that comes in through central CA along I-5) we saw it, the great Anderson's Pea Soup restaurant
