Uncle Dadz

Melody's "Uncle Dadz" Torrico visited the U.S. last week for the first time, and stayed for several days in Southern California. He and his family live in Melody's hometown of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. It had been over ten years since Melody had seen him. They tried to make the most of his time here, and showed him the typical tourist traps of Rodeo Drive, Malibu beach, Universal Studios, and The Americana, among others.

Pizza in Malibu

Eating together at Mel's parents'.
Enjoying some Thai food.
The rest of the places we/they went, they only stayed for a few minutes (long enough to get a few pictures). He had a limited time, so they wanted him to see as many places as possible.

The Americana
Not sure what happened to everyone in this picture...kind of chaotic, haha.

Universal Studios Citywalk

We hope he had a good visit, and also that we see him again in the not-too-distant future. And hopefully next time, we'll get to see the rest of his family.
