What are you waiting for?
Been meaning to blog my journeys, really dropped the ball on that.
Just trying to take in as much as I can, and taken an assload of pix, to try and share what my eyes have seen, when I finally do plop down.
Feel free to check em out, or go back to clicking penguins, or insulting strangers, or being an e-celeb or whatever your particular niche is. Its there if ya wanna browse.
So far while staying in Ventura, Ive ventured as far as Santa Barbara shoreline and the Mission, then up to Riviera, where all the quiet millionares with the insane lanscaping seem to reside.
In between Ive been to Channel Islands, Ventura Harbor & downtown, Strawberry Festival, and numerous spots up the 101.
Sooo much to see, and so lil time, working 6 10s. Come Sunday, it takes some gumption to get on the road sometimes.
Southbound of course Ive done the PCH 1 coast drive, thru Pt Mugu, Carillo, Malibu, Zuma, Topanga, ending at Santa Monica Pier, ate at Bubba Gumps and took a spin thru LA, Hollywood, Bev Hills etc. LA isnt that much to look at in the nighttime seems. Sunset Strip prolly being the main attraction. But I plan on getting back down in the day before I depart, maybe it will be more impressive.
Eastbound Ive been out Thousand Oaks, where I stopped off at Gardens of the World, a pretty good size botanical garden thats set up in sections representing various countries, each with indigenous trees and plants from that geographic. Went on out to Sima Valley, stopped at Reagan Prez Library & gravesite up top of the mountain. Nice views up there.
Went out Agoura Hills and caught YnT at the Canyon Club. They prety much paved the way for what later became the 80s metal sound. It was good to see the Dave and the original lineup, in such a very nostalgic venue. Club was emaculate in theme, in between the hills, with an interior that seemed a pefect mix of north and south west, and desert decor, all handcarved bar trim, elaborate carved arbors where the staff walked thru, wall to wall oriental rugs, numerous sectional couch areas and quite large circular booths, a raised mezanine, jut really nice layout for a landmark rock venue. Tables were glasstop, inset with various rock star memorabilia (signed guitars, albums, picks, belongings), and the same adorned the walls. All the while not cheesed out, a good effort to preserve the rustic quality of this long time establishment. Great club, great night.
Theres so many others stops , restaraunts, scenic views to mention, but this is more than anyone will read as is. I'll try to give shorter more frequent updates for twgaf.
What do I miss from home? My car. But this Kia gets incredible mileage, so Im not complainin.
