    What a pleasure to add you here. I do like this site and think it will be good for all of us. I was pleased to see you've added Squid Link to your TableConversation blog that I thoroughly enjoy. Maralyn

    Hi Barbara,

    I'd like to extend an invitation to you to think about taking and writing about one of our Esotouric bus adventures, which roll most Saturdays out of Downtown LA and offer a unique historical perspective on the city through the lenses of social history, true crime, architecture, spirituality and rock and roll. This Saturday we offer our occasional Blood & Dumplings tour, which includes a snack from 101 Noodle Express (one of J. Gold's top 99 restaurants, though we actually discovered it before he did, which we thought was pretty cool). We've also worked with Tai Kim from Scoops to develop tour-themed gelatos for the Real Black Dahlia and Raymond Chandler tours. Check us out some time at http://www.esotouric.com
