A Visit from Lydia

My friend Lydia from Switzerland/Germany came to LA before heading down to San Diego for Comic Con. We've been trying to hang out all week and finally on her last day we manage to accomplish it. Harry and I wanted to take her out to Vasquez Rocks since it's only a few miles from us. Only issue is it's over 100 degrees. We figured we'd go and at least show her the place.

When we got there they were filming a movie, signs said HIRO but looked like Firefly to me. Maybe it's the new Mad Max film. Anyways we got out and walked around a bit. Even though it was hot she wanted to take a little hike. About a half hour later and a lot more hiking Lydia hit a wall and couldn't go any further. While she rested in the shade with Harry I quickly got back to the truck and drove to as close as I could got pick them up. Harry says she was really bad for a moment and looked like she was going to pass out... she didn't luckily and both made it back to the truck.

Once back at home both Harry and Lydia looked like they had heat stroke. Lydia actually took a shower to cool down and rinse off. After 2o minutes or so both were fine and ready for lunch. Since Lydia is a vegetarian I questioned my plans to take her to Islands (one of our favorite places) but they had veggie burgers and she was cool with that. So we had lunch, came back home and chatted for a bit. She debated on leaving at 4ish and dealing with traffic or leaving at 7ish and getting to SD really late.. she opted for 4ish and dealing with traffic.

It was a fun visit.. other then almost killer her from a heat stroke.
