To celebrate my g-friend’s 70th B-day.  Took the train from SF to LA and back.  Interesting what you see of California by train.  Lots of RV’s, mobile home parks and agricultural fields.  Also  apartments and apartment construction.  … but it is a 10 hour ride on Amtrak … great way to see California between SF and LA … totally recommend if you have the time.

In LA, recommend the Broad and the Getty.  Both art museums are of the highest quality and are Free.  As well as MOCA … also with free entry.  But there are a lot more in LA.

Stayed at the Biltmore downtown.  100 year old hotel that hosted the first Oscars.  Classic Place.  They were even filming the upcoming Forever series on Netflix while we were there.   Classic Last Bookstore nearby.  Even have a Whole Foods close by.

Good trip, Hope you had a good B-day Leslie.
