Palisades Park

Today was yet another beautifully sunny Pacific Coast day. Most of our morning was spent lounging about the apartment and sitting on the balcony catching a few rays.

For lunch, Gary, Dawn and I went to the Five Guys in Westwood for a burger. Betty was still ailing, so stayed in bed. We all voted the Five Guys burger and fries to be seriously better than In 'N Out. This Five Guys is on the street with the iconic Fox theatre at it's end.

From Westwood, Gary took us to the Brentwood street called La Mesa that has amazing trees on its boulevard that don't seem to want to bury their roots. Roots rule!

Then it was time to walk off the effects of lunch, so we drove to Palisades Park and relived the song, sung by Freddy Cannon - for you younguns, check out iTunes - parked the car and began our walk atop the bluffs above the Pacific Coast Highway and the Santa Monica beach and pier.

Along our three kilometre walk there were many fabulous views of the Pacific shore and others wonders.

The last stop of the day was at Ralphs for tonight's dinner essentials and since Betty had recovered sufficiently, she was back in the kitchen cooking a chicken piccata. Another amazing view! Dinner was great and later the girls finally rose to the top in Canasta.
