Nov 13 - We decided to have an outing and explore the Huntington Botanical Gardens. Lots of very different, interesting eco-systems. This is a very large area, and we walked around quite a few. They had a huge cactus garden -- I didn't know there we so many different types of cacti. We also walked the Japanese gardens. It was a very nice and interesting way to spend the day.
Nov 14 - we chose to explore along the coast of San Pedro. We stopped at the Marine Mammal Care Center, which is where they rescue marine animals, and release them when they can. Lots of seals and sea lions. Kudos to them for the work they do.
Next, we drove over to the old Fort MacArthur Museum, but didn't go in. But nearby, was the Korean Friendship Bell park and overlook. This was a huge bell given to us by Korea. They placed it on the location of the old canons from the Fort. Our last stop that we discovered as we drove around the coast road was Wilders Addition Park. This had a long walkway down the cliffside to the beautiful, rocky shore beach. The last section had an unusually painted set of steep stairs. Hung out there for awhile, but then had to walk back up, up and up to the car at the top of the cliffs.
We boated over to a wonderful restaurant on the canal, and had dinner watching the sunset. Nice way to end our time with Robbie and Ann.
