Friend in town, 7

Darn delicious Martinis at the Dresden Bar.

I couldn't spend the day with Philipp because of my work. He went for a tour at the Universal Studios, the world's largest movie studio and theme park. In the afternoon he relaxed on the beach of Santa Monica. We all went for a fabulous dinner at the Indian restaurant Electric Lotus in Silver Lake. Afterwards we decided to go to the legendary Dresden bar (what a history!) whose popularity was even more elevated by the 1996 cult movie Swingers. We all enjoyed the attraction of this place, the jazz duo Marty & Elayne which is a real L.A. institution - with its performance of over 20 years.
