Part the Third: getting around

The traveling sepal mug got around today. In the morning, he was refueled and ended up meeting a coffee he really liked...The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. You can check out their website at http://coffeebean.com/. Their coffee is direct trade and all their shops provide free wi-fi.

No wonder the traveling sepal mug was hooked. It must have been love at first sip.

Some sight-seeing of LA was in order for the day's activities, and he met a lot of different people at The Grove.

This is Jamie, one of the key leaders in this whole Taiwan business.

This is Kenji, who is from Taiwan and has been visiting America.

This is Michelle, another leader who actually works in Colorado.

This is Kelly, a dear friend from college who lives and works in LA.

This is Chris, the husband of the first key leader of the Taiwan deal.

This is Sarah, who is from Tennessee and is going to Taiwan as well.

This is Rachel from New Jersey who is also going to Taiwan.

This is another Sarah, who is going to school to be an Army psychologist.

Besides meeting all these people at the Grove, later that night the Sepal mug went to the Santa Monica Pier. He recognized the ocean, since it's the same Pacific Ocean he grew up on up in Cannon Beach, Oregon, at Ecola. But now he was experiencing it where movies are made!

At the pier, the sepal mug saw...BREAK DANCERS! Break dancers from Mexico who made dirty jokes and asked for money! It was awesome.

Caleb stayed at the hotel and read the paper.

I know. He's reading it upside down. Don't tell him, though. It will hurt his feelings; he really enjoys reading the paper.

Tomorrow, the scenery is about to drastically change. So is the time zone.
