Sightseeing in LosAngeles

Friday was our day of disembarkation at the SanPedro pier. By 9:30am we had had breakfast, finished packing, met in the Provenance Dining room, left the ship, went through customs, and claimed our luggage. Then we boarded a bus and headed towards LAX and a rental car. Drove one hour north to Moorpark, CA and Larry's Uncle Dale who is a retired Lutheran Pastor. Uncle Dale is 91 years old and a world traveler. He enjoys having company and sharing his travel experiences. After lunch we drove up to Reagan's Presidential Library which you can see from Uncle Dale's house. It was a rainy, cool (51 degrees) day with a brisk breeze. Hey, we've been in the tropics so it felt cool! The unfortunate part was that visibility was very low so we couldn't enjoy the beautiful scenery which is usually visible from the Libary. We always visit Presidential Libraries when possible so this was one more. When we returned to Uncle Dale's, he had set the dining room table with his new tablecloth from St. Thomas, Waterford crystal, and his finest silver and china. We enjoyed Filet Mignon (grilled by Larry and Chuck) and Champagne. Nancy and I are the kitchen crew. After we cleaned up, we called it a day.
