Thanks to Mark for being such a great host to us for the week and to our friends at the gathering. It made our stay very enjoyable and we had a great time in California.

Mark gave a scenic view of the coast of Palos Verdes. It is truly a beautiful coast...perhaps the prettiest in all of California.

The best pico de gallo on the planet...thanks Lisa
In Palos Verdes it is very normal to see people riding horses in public. There are several hiking, biking, jogging and horse trails.
If Stefany is this close to Portillo's, well it means a guaranteed trip to get some Italian beef with the fixins
