May 22th 2009, Griffth Observatory And Phoenix Food Boutique
Last Friday night, we headed to Griffth Observatory and had a very tasty dinner at Phoenix Food. We met at the Adidjaja's at 6:00 PM and had a quick sandwhich dinner before we left. Thanks for Egid's food preparation.
It was not a long trip and only took us 40 minutes to get there. It's Friday night, and there were more people than I thought would be there. No parking spaces were available, so we parked along the street.
You can see the whole view of LA city from the top of hill. That's so pretty. Below is the photos of Griffth Observatory building.
Each of us was so amazed to such a beautiful observatory building and night view. Before the sky turned dark, we took a quick shot.

The rest of us went upstairs and were in a line waiting to seeing Saturn. Yes, it's the real Saturn.
We stayed there until 10pm which is the time the observatory closes. Afterward, we drove to Phoenix Boutique for dinner. This place was still busy so late at night.


Tonight was a great night. We had a lot of fun at the Observatory and had an enjoyable dinner. Yummy!! Burp.

Admission to the Observatory building is free, and you can optionally pay $5 to watch a show. Some of the group members went to watch the show.
We were lucky that the sky was clear, so the Zeiss telescope is open from the roof.

The price for food was very reasonable. For examle, the plain porridge costs $3 and the seafood porridge costs only $5. For some group members, it was their first time to try Chinese food and they had a great time.

Hiking at the Monrovia Canyon Falls -- May 16, 2009
Sixteen people participated in the hiking last Saturday. The weather was excellent. The hike uphill took three times more time than the downhill trip—since along the way up we took turn in reading some of the nature guides and learnt a little bit of the natural riparian ecosystem along the trail and took a lot of pictures. Jo found not one, but “two” acorns while everybody else found none. Who knew Jo has some serious squirrel instinct. We are so proud to have Jo in our group.
When we arrived at the fall, some of us rock-climbed the wall behind the falls, but some were just busy taking pictures. We played a couple group games and had a lot of laugh, mostly at each other. Watch out for Teresa and Yok! They are some serious super-teaser! After the hiking, we sat down at the picnic area and ate lunch together. What a great, fun way to enjoy a southern California Saturday morning. At 1:30 PM we were all done playing and went home to finish our schoolwork because final week is right at the door. Thanks to Yok, here are some photos from the trip:
