My friend dear Gina Marie, whom I haven't seen in nearly five years, is in California visiting relatives. Last night, I picked her up, and today we played Tourist. We started the morning in Santa Monica. Inland, everything was grey and overcast and actually raining at times, but the coast was gorgeous. It was chilly and windy and deserted, but beautiful.

After the beach and the 3rd Street Promenade, Gina and I visited the animal shelter my cats came from. We were very tempted to adopt a little pretty kitty named Gidget. Then it was off to Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, a scenic drive through the steep-and-winding-with-gorgeous-views-from-the-hills neighborhoods, lunch at Mel's Diner, a quick stop in Hollywood to see the Hollywood sign, and then back home to watch Rent before the drive out to Santa Clarita to meet her family for the Exchange at Starbucks.

Whew! It was a great day.
