Monday: with Cassie we drove to Long Beach for a "whale watch". We were out for almost three hours and found many, many dolphins of all shapes and sizes in two different "herds". We had about given up on finding a whale when we spotted one and over the next twenty minutes had four sightings of the same whale, a fin whale, estimated at 75 feet long. Very exciting.
Tuesday: the Feast of Saint Patrick we spent in downtown L.A. Started at Paseo de La Plaza, a market place in the old city. Elevenses at Union Station. We then watched the start of the Parade before noontime mass @ The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Holy Angeles. [The Cardinal was testifying in court!] Then a quick visit to Disney Hall but again no admission to the auditorium. On to Grand Central Market for lunch....each to their own taste!. The last stop was the Bradbury Building, which has been the backgound in many movies. And home in time for a swim. God blessed the feast day with beautiful weather.
Wednesday: Northrup Grumman Day for Cassie. We dropped her off and then went for a long walk on Manhatten Beach, north from the pier. In the afternoon we spent some time on the beach at Hermosa Beach before picking her up about four. She had a great day, caught up with a number of old friends; and was treated like royalty. We ended up at The Counter for dinner. Home in time to witness Obama going south in a helicopter, suitable escorted.
Today we started the day with breakfast @ Casey's and John's and then the five of us went to Newport Beach where we rented an electric boat for our own tour of the harbour and a picnic. Casey left us after the cruise for a meeting and the rest of us visited the Crystal Cathedral on our way home.
