today was so much fun! george, sarah and i walked the l.a. river where we encountered this tiny asian woman pacing back and forth with her electric blue umbrella. we also saw an entirely road-flat lizard baked from the sun (a white under belly!) so much so that it resulted in a magic eye experience on the pavement.

george found a very large sturdy stick to utilize as a fruit picker (nail a can at the end so he can harvest fruit trees). he showed us this public lemon tree, and i used the stick to beat so many lemons off of the tree. the women moving groceries from their car into their house told us that we should be careful because 'homeless people poo and pee near that tree' after we had collected 20 something lemons. we also found an orange tree where sarah picked three large tangerine, and then we tasted a neighbor's loquat. we made a delicious but slightly bitter lemonade later.

we went to this gluten free, vegan diner in los feliz and got avocado pancakes, lentil burger, and curry. pretty good those pancakes. that was our day. we tried some yoga in the evening, and max met us. really great day. the beach tomorrow, and meet up with dad for sashimi.
