We decided we had to see Rodeo Drive since we were only four blocks away. Then we would head off to dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XtGCqtWgAdc/SmOwYL-ZnVI/AAAAAAAAADk/Tj7XgnGqk58/s1600-h/002+Bust.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 157px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XtGCqtWgAdc/SmOwYL-ZnVI/AAAAAAAAADk/Tj7XgnGqk58/s320/002+Bust.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360321911078886738" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;For those of you who don't know me that well, I am not a shopper. So &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rodeo Drive&lt;/span&gt; was not high on my list of things to do. But, since we were so close, we had to go and say we've been there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XtGCqtWgAdc/SmOwY9WKW3I/AAAAAAAAAD0/Sa31gE48CGE/s1600-h/005+View.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 157px; height: 118px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XtGCqtWgAdc/SmOwY9WKW3I/AAAAAAAAAD0/Sa31gE48CGE/s320/005+View.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360321924331887474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;By the time we got there, it was after six and most of the shops were closed. So we just walked around one of the blocks and in hind sight,  not the main block. But we took some pictures to remember it by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XtGCqtWgAdc/SmOwYkrOqoI/AAAAAAAAADs/sZNJEmqOuDM/s1600-h/Mephisto+Mens.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 157px; height: 118px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XtGCqtWgAdc/SmOwYkrOqoI/AAAAAAAAADs/sZNJEmqOuDM/s320/Mephisto+Mens.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360321917709363842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Mike noticed shoes, of course, and pointed out a shop selling &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Mephistos&lt;/span&gt;. He commented on the "display" and wondered how a store could represent their product with a window like that. It was pretty bland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we were done looking around, we headed to dinner at &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Roni's Diner&lt;/span&gt; again. David was at the Dodger's game, so Romeo took great care of us. This night we just had sandwiches. And, because it's California, I had avocado on my burger!
