On saturday Jaana and I went to practice Zazen with Brad in Santa Monica. It was very nice, although the christian church next door had some kind of fair with live music going right through our second practice period, which was distracting for me. Afterwards we had some mexican food (as we're eating all we can now that it is available).
Jaana drives like a demon, and manages the 6 lane superhighways into LA with no problem at all now, and even though the gas prices are pretty high by local standards, we have been getting good milage out of our trusty rental Chrysler and feel that we can get around pretty freely. With all the guys coming to our campground it is not unusual to have five or six heavy duty vehicles parked around us, and we also have both a Jeep and an explorer available. We will have to decide tomorrow if we are going to keep the rental or not.
We have been introduced both to lawyers and people working for the local congresswoman, so it looks like we have some people on our team for getting the work permits through a bit quicker.
Today we went to Acapulco up in Ventura for a fantastic brunch with a chronic top up of our mimosas, and this afternoon we will be heading out to Santa Paula for some BBQ and a Jacuzzi party.
We might be going out to shoot rattlesnakes tomorrow, as they need to be cleared of a friends newly purchased ranch and we have a tentative schedule for some guys introducing me to golf next week.
The jury is out on wether we will be going south to San Diego next week, or wether we will be heading up to San Fancisco to see some old friends and maybe go up into the wine county around Sonoma.
