Weddings, Great Food and a Back Alley Massage...

It has been a very busy weekend, with two beautiful weddings, lots of great food, and a back alley massage… Fr. Josiah gave the best extra credit assignment anyone could ask for, a trip to Pink’s Hot Dog Stand in Hollywood. While in the mist of traffic en route to Los Angeles, we decided to take a detour to China Town. As many of you know, I often complain about back pain (I slipped on ice at Forest Falls four years ago and landed on my tail bone). So as we are walking back to the car, I see a sign at the street corner that says 10 dollar massage! Okay, so who really follows a strange little lady towards the alley, not knowing where or what she’ll do to you…I do! But no fear, she was very nice and did a very adequate job if I must say. I even made Guillermo get one as well! The days that followed were filled with two spectacular wedding celebrations and plenty of great food. My childhood friend/neighbor Nia got married. I got to see Carrie and a lot of familiar faces. It was great. The next day Claudia and Carlos tied the knot!

If you ever wonder what a cheap massage room in China Town looks like...well, here you go!
The line for Pink's was out the door and around the corner of the building. They are open til 4:00 am on weekends, and apprently the line is always this long... As you can see, Guillermo is even reading the paper!

This is me, excited that I just ordered a Spicy Polish Chilli Dog with Onions and Jalapenos. Guillermo ordered an extra long Jalapeno Chilli Dog (with fries, onion rings, and lemonade).

Mmmm....

I thought the happy face on Guillermo's hot dog was cute.

We instantly had a major case of heartburn...The dogs were really spicy...no joke. We didn't even finish our food, and for anyone that knows us, food never goes to waste.
