Street car race and Laguna

Elin and I played a street race car game on the curb outside the house until we were both starving.  Then we lay on the ground in front of our door until Helena and Johanna arrived with Blaze pizza.  This is a race car game I used to play in Tehran on Golestan 8th street while I was growing up.  You can play singles or in teams of pairs.  I'd told Elin for weeks I'd teach her how to play this game, but we both kept forgetting on the weekends, until today opportunity presented itself when Johanna and Helena stepped out for grocery shopping and to buy lunch for all of us.

 





After lunch, Johanna and I went to Laguna Beach.  We visited the library first, only to realize to our disappointment the Laguna branch is closed on Sundays.  3 homeless people were sleeping in the library front yard, and this was Johanna's first exposure to the homeless.  She asked a few questions about them throughout.  We stopped by Dolce Gelato, our favorite dessert place in Laguna.  We almost always eat gelato there when we're in Laguna.
