Earth Day at Alegría Farm

The other day was Earth Day and a day to spend at Alegría Farm.  I first posted on the farm last summer and it is more beautiful than ever.  Spring has burst into full color at the farm.  Edible flowers, beautiful greens and rare herbs are just a few of the culinary delights you can enjoy.  Located at the Great Park in Irvine, California, Alegría Farm features innovative earth-kind solutions to urban agriculture. You can read more about the farm here or here.

The Getty Villa and Gardens

Spent the other day at the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades overlooking the ocean, which you cannot see in these photos because it was very overcast.         
J. Paul Getty opened a gallery, in 1954, right next to his home here.  The villa is filled with Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities and is surrounded by gardens.

The Fishermen of Cabo San Lucas

On our recent trip to Cabo, we tried our hand at a little fishing.  We had no luck whatsoever but got a close up of the beautiful arch.  Actually, I didn't mind not catching any, being a vegetarian/pescatarian and all.  It's a little hard to see that beautiful marlin being brought in. The catches above were from another boat and fisherman with a greater expertise!!!

Bali

This month is my one year anniversary of my blog and I am finally doing the Bali post.  Bali is one of those magical places.  The landscape is so intensely colorful, it is hard to believe what you are seeing. I fell in love with the people and the culture.  Oh, and the food!   This was my first trip to exotic Southeast Asia.   Here are some images from the beaches of Seminyak and the cultural center of Bali, Ubud.

In Seminyak, we stayed at the Legian and when I went back some months later I stayed at the Chedi Club in Ubud.
