Yesterday morning when I got up I looked out the window to
see palm trees and Sandy’s wonderful balcony aerie. That is a great way to start the day. We took our time getting ready and packing
lunches (Sandy was prepared with a great spread) then headed out for a tour –
Sandy posted pictures earlier in the blog.
I snapped a couple of shots of the Hollywood sign, downtown LA, and
Griffith Observatory.

We stopped to get what was surely one of the best pastries I’ve
had, sort of a caramel-topped cinnamon roll, called a Cinnamon Flake, and ate our breakfast in the
Beverly Hills park that was just refurbished.
It had originally been part of the Beverly Hills hotel ground – the hotel
that Robbie’s great grandmother established.
I think several of you have seen the book Robbie wrote about the
hotel.
We took an incredibly scenic drive to Santa Monica pier and had
lunch at the Palisades Park right by the rose garden. Our bench overlooked the ocean. Then, we went over to the pier and walked all
the way out, watching seagulls and enjoying a fabulous breeze.
We drove back over to Jeannie and Robbie’s house. They are just delightful. Jeannie walked us through her garden
(incredible) and Robbie gave me an autographed copy of the second book, Beverly
Hills, the first 100 years. Last night
was just a sit and relax night.
We’re getting ready to go to the farmers’ market, then over
to see a movie with Jackie. I am having
the BEST time! More to come.
