For my 50th birthday, Kristina and I traveled to LA to stay at a swanky Burbank hotel, which coincidentally was celebrating its 50th anniversary. On day one, we adventured at Universal Studios, Hollywood. On day two, we oohed and awed at the Getty Museum complex. And our last day, we explored local neighborhoods and cuisines. I must say, avacados in CA are the most flavorful and ripe I’ve ever encountered.
