Taka and I got to drive one of the boy's teams from Las Vegas to L.A. and before I released them from the van I took this photo! At their final location, hotel Anaheim!
Taka represented Santa Cruz (with the shirt!)... these were the courts that had 16 separate courts! The team did well, but the other teams took away the games. 
LINDA from George School in L.A.!!! Linda Pollock, took time off work and came and got us! Taka and me, we went out for INDIAN CITY food together and talked away for the little time we had. Special!!!! Too short but VERY sweet!
The hotel we stayed at with the boys didn't have real coffee. Taka and I found better (yes, Starbucks) amongs the palms, a walk away at a Marriot Hotel (also the Hilton...but lines of thirty or forty people drove us a little further to the Marriot)
And then finally we got to see Yuri-chan!!! From Japan...well, Yuri and I knew each other, when Taka and I first got together so more than 13 years ago! Yuri and I friends from 14 years ago?!

Yuri came the last night we were in L.A.. The night before we got to see her hubby and son too, but I missed the photographs there! ; (
Leaving L.A....was a pleasure, and didn't seem a terribly long drive since we got to travel along with Zen's team mate's parents, Debi and Jan St. John.
The trip was hard in a number of ways, but playing hard, and keeping up good spirits became "the name of the game" I guess you could say!
