Thursday night Wendy and Michel arrived on a direct flight from Paris to stay at a hotel near LAX. Yesterday morning they had breakfast with Trevor, saw the Manhattan Beach house all spiffed up and ready for a tenant. They rented a car, left early to make a 2:00 pm appointment in San Diego. Trevor drove down separately. He stopped here and we picked up Andrew Mack at his house. At 4:00 we heard Wendy and Michel give a joint lecture to about 50 people in one of the fascinating rooms at UCSD's Atkinson Hall. Wendy and Michel had work related obligations after that for dinner, so Trevor and Mack and I had a Korean BBQ meal near where he ives, where you cook wonderful things right on a hot ring at your table.
We took Mack home, unloaded some more 'junk' for him to store, and Trevor had a good tour of the house and all its wonders. The view from the back yard is spectacular! Mack has installed some nice bright lighting throughout the house, something I need here. Since San Onofrey went down the cost of electricity in this area has skyrocketed, and until recently fast, bright light has been impossible. (Cheaper LEDs have made this much better, thank goodness.)
Trev and I drove back to La Costa Glen and watched a Ted Talk or two until we got too sleepy to stay awake. It was a big day for Trev, but he takes it all in stride.
This evening Wendy and Michel will take us all to Fidels, or the next door restaurant called The Jackal (in Spanish) in Solana Beach, which were surrounded by fields when she was a student at UCSD n the '70s. Now they are surrounded by buildings.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday we should all have some time to explore La Costa Glen and surrounds. Wendy and Michel plan to fly back Monday from LAX.
