Lance and I slept late as a result of the shenanigans of Friday Mack and Lance respectively. I got up a little while before Chris so I went down and put money in the meter, and removed the ticket from under the wiper. A cup of coffee and a bagel later, I went and Lance was just getting up and grumbling about how I snore (I think he is just hyper sensitive). So we went over to the border between mexico town and korea town for the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had – at Langer’s.

We planned on having brunch and then I was going to head out – but we were duped into hanging out in little mexico and the nearby area for over three hours waiting for photos to be developed. I didn’t get on the road until almost 5pm when a thunderstorm came through and snarled the traffic. What almost made it worthwhile – when I got east of the city and into the mountains, the higher elevations were blanketed in a thin layer of snow. There were dozens of cars pulling over on the interstate to look at, touch, and make balls with, the snow.
