Visiting the folks in beautiful Palos Verdes



I just got back from visiting my folks in LA because my dad was getting over being sick and they needed some extra help. They're 93, and nearly every evening they sit together like this on their couch with the lights low looking out at the stars and airplane lights.


This is beautiful Lunada Bay, a 15-minute walk downhill from their home. I went there every morning to soak in the sounds of the sea and the sunshine. The video below will take you there! It's on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

I took photos of lush plants on the way down to the cliffs:









There's the ocean, framed by eucalyptus leaves.


It's a stunning, rugged coastline south of Redondo Beach, where the land rises up to form the Palos Verdes Peninsula.


It's a popular surfing spot.



And every night we watch the sun set over the ocean from their living room.

Have a colorful day

Your parents are still looking good and how nice that you could go visit and help out. What a great way to start your day with that walk to the bay. No matter where you find yourself, you always notice beautiful vistas, trees and flowers. Enjoy!

Great that you could spend time with them. I hope your dad is doing better now. Beautiful photos, and it looks like you had good weather to be there!
