Claire, from Planet Claire! You have won the box-o-books! Congrats! (That's Lauren, investigating one of California's luscious exports. She's the newest member of my family's West Coast branch.)
And congrats to Fred!
Hollywood, Bel Air, Rodeo Drive, Venice Beach, Playa Del Rey, Westwood, Culver City, San Bernadino Mountains... I've covered a lot of territory in a week.
I promise to catch you up on all the news, both good and bad, and take you on a tour of a fabulous shop ...
a tour of UCLA's Japanese Garden...
I have lots of photos (598) to upload/downsize, phone calls (33 important ones) and e-mails (119) that require attention. Not to mention laundry.
***BLOG DU JOUR ***While not my usual link, I love this one and think you will be fascinated, too. The photos, including creatures large and small, are outstanding. Visit sfbaywhalewatching.blogspot.com

Thanks for the whale watching link. Wonderful photos! I look forward to more from your travels, as well!
Just wanted to say Hi from Sweden, Europe! :)
Welcome back!! and...
CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of your giveaway!!
Cant wait to see your photos... the good thing about digital cameras is you can store all your photos... the bad thing is its easier to take too many of them at once
Take Care

Hey Barbara, I tried to email you at your AOL mailbox but it was returned to me. I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I'll just blame it on being the parent of a teenager.;)
My email address is entrenous@comcast.net
If you can email me I'll reply back with my physical address.
Thank you again!
Claire
Looks like there is going to be a lot to look forward to here. It can take forever to sort out all those hundreds of photos after a trip.
