USA - California (Orange County)
2.5 weeks vacation in Orange County (California) in November, mainly
busy choosing properties, did not do much sight-seeing.

highlights.

The injury on my forehead and lip is
still in process of recovery, so I will not be taking any photos of
myself during the stay in California this time.

For the drinks, I sat outdoor to view sunset, then went indoor

I had healthy fish as main course, and madeleine as dessert.
