Malibu and more

After having had our fill of Disney and Anaheim, we moved over to the beach for some


clam strips and fries

fish and chips

at the super casual Malibu Seafood

The Getty Villa, modeled after the Villa dei Papiri in Italy

On our last day, we breakfasted at Cora's Coffee Shoppe on a cheddar and prosciutto omelette, and orange pancakes with fresh blueberries.

Followed by a stroll around the Santa Monica pier to walk off breakfast, before climbing back in the car for the long drive back home. This time E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime entertained me on the road, where we passed tens of thousands of cows, cows, cows (even with the windows up and the vents closed, their smell managed to seep into the car).
