Southern California, 2013

(The week in Los Angeles)

 

The first half of our trip was primarily to visit the Los Angeles area
and our friends Joe and Mark.

 

 

We had the luxury of staying in their lovely vacation home in Venice.

We spent lots of relaxing time in their beautiful garden.

 

                                                                                                                            

The entire Venice experience was astoundingly beautiful.

Up the beach in Santa Monica

 

 

 

 

 

 

One weekend they held an amazing Art Show,

called “GLOW”,

All over the beach were luminescent art projects:

 

 

 

 

 

Joe drove us to various places in and around Los Angeles.   Or were sometimes we traveled by city bus.

 

Waiting in line for the TONIGHT SHOW with Jay Leno!

 

“The Wizard of Oz” at Grauman’s Chinese Theater

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Griffith Park Observatory

 

It was a thrill to see the Walt Disney Concert Hall

with Gustavo Dudamel conduct the L A Philharmonic

and the Youth Orchestra of LA (YOLA), separately and together.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Joe and Mark, for making our Los Angeles/Venice stay so pleasant.
