Pasadena

I spent today in Pasadena. My friend Rachel lives here. It is lovely.


While Rachel worked, I walked down to Colorado Avenue to do some shopping. This is, of course, where the Rose Parade is held every year. It's very beautiful and hip. I saw a woman that looked like Michael Jackson. Then I saw another. After about the 5th person I saw that looked like Michael Jackson, I realized what I was picking up on. People's noses and cheeks just not looking exactly right...yep: plastic surgery.

I'm not totally opposed to beauty treatments. I got a pedicure; perhaps one of the best of my life. The place was huge with what seemed like half the population of Ho Chi Minh City working there. Seriously, as I left I counted the technicians and there were 25! And stations for all of them! (And 1 or 2 looked like Michael Jackson!)

Home tomorrow! Hooray, Hooray!!!
