Rainy Night in Koreatown

It is almost unheard of for rain to fall in July in Southern California but this past Saturday July 18th that idea was proven to be untrue. We experienced quite a thunder storm all weekend long.  We dropped Marino off at the airport for his flight back to New Jersey, and we headed to Koreatown to the Brass Monkey Bar on Wilshire Blvd.  

 We were to meet up with friends for a 30th Wedding Anniversary Party/Karaoke night.  We arrived an hour early and found out that the bar didn't serve food until 8:00 and it was only 6:30. We decided to take a walk to find a place to eat but it started to rain harder as we walked without an umbrella.  Soon we found a tiny cafe called,   BCD Tofu House. We took a chance and went in.  We were pleasantly surprised to find the food was very good.  It was also a relief to get out of the pouring rain.

By dinner's end the rain had stopped and we walked on over to join the others at the Brass Monkey.

Happy Anniversary to our dear friends Alan and Karen

 We've all been friends for over thirty years and spent many years having

parties and taking trips together.  Here's a photo us us in the late 1970's vacationing together.

The Karaoke bar was hopping. 

Happy 30th Anniversary Karen and Alan! 
Wishing you both many more years of happiness together.
