Meeting Anita, R and the LA Gang @ Kogi Taco Truck - Meet-Up

This trip was quite an unexpected one, I had to solve some stuff and work a little bit while visiting Socal; and wasn't sure if I was going to have the time to meet with some locals .......... My good Spanish/German friend, Anita (stone31) was already in the states so she was going to come to LA to meet me, and that's how the idea of a mini meet-up started, just that at the end the list expanded to aprox 30 and there was an attendance of 23. Not bad for a mini meet-up!! :)

I was very happy to also meet R again, it was almost 9 months since our Europe trip, and I was glad to see him again!!! Plus! We will travel again together with his klumpel! :) ........ Thanks R for being patience with us and driving us to wherever we wanted! hehehe :)
We knew how tired you were since you traveled all the way from Vegas and didn't sleep at all!! However, those beers did help to wake you up again! heheh :D

From all the TBs who went to the Koki Taco Truck Meet-up, which was actually Barney's meet-up, I've already met 4 before, and the rest were all new!!! It was pretty incredible to be able to finally meet the LA Gang, and the very new Tbs!! :) . ... Plus, Eric and Lisa joined us!!! It was great to have you all over there!!! :).

Anita, R and I we were practically VERY TIRED by the time we were on the meet-up. Anita arrived the day before, R drove all the way down from Vegas and me coming from OC and hardly sleeping.....  We had a HUGE American breakfast near their hostel in Hermosa Beach, spent the morning around the pier walking down the beach (a very nice walk) and decided to arrive earlier to get the tables.  However the energy when TBs starting to arrive, and a couple of drinks made us wake up again!! :D :D :D

I hope you all enjoyed your time, I wish I could have spent more time with everyone, but overall I think we all had a great time! :P ..... Plus, I was frustrated with my new camera and not being able to used it. ... Thanks Rob for the super fast class!! :D

To Joy, Alice and Jen!! Thanks for all the support, cookies, Illegal Empanadas and getting the bills payed!!! :P
Wouldn't be able to make it without you guys! :)

THANK YOU ALL, I know some of you drove long distances to get to the place, and others fought with the LA traffic! hehehe..... Thanks for the GREAT TIME!! :)

Hugs to all of you! Safe travels and hope to meet ya somewhere in this big world!! :)
Besos!
