The injury on my forehead and lip is
still in process of recovery, so I will not be taking any photos of
myself during the stay in California this time.

For the drinks, I sat outdoor to view sunset, then went indoor
afterwards because it's quite cold after sunset.
I had healthy fish as main course, and madeleine as dessert.
