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.

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.

The rest of us went upstairs and were in a line waiting to seeing Saturn. Yes, it's the real Saturn.

We were lucky that the sky was clear, so the Zeiss telescope is open from the roof.

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.

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.

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