Az had a busy month of traveling . . .

she got to meet some old friends and family . . . Thomas, Atossa, (and Celia!) in Malibu . . .

Folabi introduced her to all-u-can-eat nan . . .

and Afsaneh showed her the magic of chelow-kabab . . .

Nancy and Jill showed Az the magical beings of the Richmond . . .

Dana and Rio (and Scott) read her stories . . .

she hung out with Julia at a swanky hotel . . .

she spun in circles in golden gate park . . .

and had her first whiff of the pacific in venice . . .

the pacific looked a little more suspicious during a boat ride with kimo and lynn on the bay.

best of all, az got to do a lot of hugging . . .

give and take . . .
