Creeks, Culture, and Craziness!

We spent the last awesome few days in mermaid lagoons and restaurants, a gallery and a club, and the company of amazing friends! 
Friday was yet another non-working day BUT we totally made the most of it! We went with Brittany to Malibu Creek State Park to go on one of her favourite hikes that ended in a beautiful, mermaidy lagoon! 
We spent ages exploring, watching people jump from different heights on the cliff face, trying to avoid submerged rocks, and paddling around. We'd worked up an appetite so we went out to Lemonade for lunch afterwards! We'd been wanting to try it for ages and it totally lived up to our expectations, so yummy!! 
We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out by the pool, so lovely to get a full day of fresh air and sunshine!

Saturday was a super fun day! We ran errands and did the grocery shopping in the morning and then Sierra, Han's college roomie/bestie came to visit for the first time!! Yeee! We chatted and caught up for a few hours then we went with Schwartz and Brittany to an opening at the gallery Brian works at in Santa Monica. They were showcasing three really lovely artists, we were super impressed!
Right nearby was another restaurant we've been wanting to try, Wurstkuche, so we went there for dinner! We had the most delicious sausages (although Han's was so spicy she almost didn't make it through) and amazing fries in this cool, hipster bar area.
Next on the agenda was Sierra's first ever clubbing experience!! We went to Lure, the same place we went with Sully, and had a fantastic night full of dancing and silliness! 
We also almost deafened ourselves, it's Monday and our ears are still recovering! The big drama of the night came later on when we got a Lyft (a super affordable taxi service) home. We reached the apartment and the driver told us she'd forgotten to start the timer thingo when we'd left! Han's credit card info was already entered into the app on her phone, so the driver just said she'd start the route and drive back to the club so it was exactly the same time. Well, 15 minutes later (the right amount of time for the ride) Han's credit card got charged for the Lyft....... $90!!!!! WHAT?! Ninety bucks for a 15 minute drive?!! Apparently there was a 200% tip added..?! Ughh so we called the driver and she was super nice about it, promising to help us sort it out, but we're still waiting to hear back from customer service. It was a wonderful night nonetheless, and fingers crossed we'll get a refund too!

Yesterday was a bit of a recovery day. We took Sierra to Cactus, still our #1 Mexican spot, and hung out for a while until she had to leave. It was so, so great hanging out with her! Just like old times!! The afternoon was a quiet one and in the evening Luce went out on a lovely date - and brought Han back some delicious Indian food afterwards! #twinning

-- Han & Luce --
Today Han's doing background on a new show called Transparent (where she saw this sign, kinda cool..!)
and Luce is going to the doctor and dermatologist. Han's hoping for a short day and planning on stopping by the most amaaazing donut place nearby the shooting location - where you can get a "wownut" (a waffle + a donut) - we've been craving it SO badly and can't wait to try it! 
Ahhh, very exciting!! Fingers crossed it'll be a wrap soon!
