Started with a morning hike up in Franklin Canyon Park, then the Original Comic Art auction at Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills, then a stroll up and down Rodeo Drive.
Franklin Canyon Park is in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and has a nice group of trails that go up and down and around a pretty pond:
The Visitor Center had a cool 3-d map of the area, showing the canyons:
Sure makes me want to go exploring!
Nice lunchtime back at the house:
Then it was down into Beverly Hills to Heritage Auctions. Well, it wasn't Sotheby's, but they sure sold a lot of comics and original comic art! The auction started at 1:30, and my Neal Adams-Batman page sold at 1:46:40
I had hoped for more, but it was a Very Good Experience to see it as it happened. (Now I don't need to do that again ["go see the auction" - not "sell comic art"])
Wendy and I had a cup of coffee at Peet's Coffee up the block, and then went to see Rodeo Drive:
It might be early for christmas-tree-lights-around-palm-trees, but it does make it look festive!
Back home for a quick dip in the pool:
Then down to "The Beach Club" for a great dinner - it reminds me of a fancier, built-out Chappaquiddick Beach Club, with the families and kids doing smores out on the beach (and very nice dining service!).
THANK YOU GOD for this wonderful LA Adventure!
