...Continued from yesterday: The following day, Monday, November 26, was our last day in Los Angeles. As our grandchildren were back in school and our daughter and son-in-law were back at work, Tom and I had the day to ourselves. We opted to hang around the South Bay area for the day, starting with breakfast at our favorite Hawthorne neighborhood hole-in-the-wall, Mandy's,
...and the food is oh, so yummy.
...my veggie scramble.
...where the plaza was decked out for the holidays.
...to the pier. ...from which we savored the panoramic views.
...from which one can enjoy looking out at the the sea, ...or at the houses along the Strand. We returned home in time to pick up one of our grand daughters from kindergarten, after which we all walked - or scooted - to pick up our other grand daughter from her school. The school.
...we passed a yard decked out for Christmas in which one of the props was a little mail box printed with "Letters to Santa." As soon as we returned home the girls got to work writing letters to Santa which they wanted to drop into the mailbox. So we returned to the mailbox into which the girls dropped their letters. They became entranced by a clock in the yard counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until Christmas, and so we stayed for quite a while, watching the clock count down.
...that was beautifully decked out for Christmas.
...and half a day and 2300 miles later, right back where we started from.
