8. Rose Bowl & The Dodgers

I’m having trouble getting these pics off my camera. I’ll try to upload them later

Not much to write about for the past few days. I’ve been taking it easy and laying low at Pete’s place. I bought a new camera, and Peter’s mother gave me her old cell phone. Kudos to her!

I went to visit the Rose Bowl Football Stadium (where UCLA plays and where the Rose Bowl is held every year). It’s a pretty area with a great layout. There is a golf course next to the field and a nice lawn outside the stadium which I presume is used for tailgating. Here are the pics:

That night Peter’s parents graciously took us to a Dodgers game. Dodger stadium is the 3rd oldest stadium in America, but it doesn’t look outdated by any means. The Dodgers played the Marlins and won 4-3 with a walk off bloop-single by Kasey Blake. Here are the pics from the game:

Tomorrow morning I’m leaving for Phoenix. Not sure how long I will spend there, but my goal is to visit all my friends who still live there. I did some maintance checks on the bike today. I cleaned and lubed the chain and also checked its tension. I noticed the coolant level was a the minimum mark, so I and some more coolant. Good thing I checked that before battling the hot desert tomorrow.
