Left Nevada and arrived in Marina Del Rey CA at the Marina International Hotel (http://www.pacificahotels.com/). Since the Shiek sold it there have been changes. The restaurant no longer has mushroom burgers and the great Greek salad. Palm trees and water are the view from our balcony.
We visited Griffith Observatory (http://www.griffithobservatory.org/) on Friday, June 5. This is where Rebel Without A Cause was filmed. Here's a picture of the observatory and one of me in front of the James Dean statue. Leonard Nemoy (Spock from Star Trek) and his wife donates lots of money to the observatory and has a theatre named after him. He narrates a film about how the observatory was built. Quite interesting! Property around the observatory includes lots of trails and the famous Hollywood sign.
Owen took time out to phone his two sisters in New Jersey. That's him talking on the phone. Took a walk along the beach and saw a family of five dolphins swimming in the ocean. Water temperature was 62 degrees!
