Vacation day 10 of 11. Breakfast at King's Road Coffee and Cafe. We each had a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries, sliced banana, and sliced strawberry. Coffee with cream for Patrick, chai latte for me. Returned to Palihouse and rested. Second breakfast at Joan's on Third: buttermilk pancakes, latte for Patrick, Americano with steamed milk for me. Patrick thought these pancakes were the best in the world. Returned to Palihouse. Rode Lyft to Getty Villa, initially and accidentally going to the wrong location. We enjoyed the museum and gardens and stopped at the cafe for unsweetened iced tea and a quick pass through the gift shop before riding Lyft to Sunset Junction in the Silver Lake district. We did not have cellular service when requesting our ride, and the workaround we discovered with help from an employee was to use the museum's wifi. Late lunch at Pine and Crane: we shared dandan noodles, three-cup Jidori chicken, kabocha squash potstickers. Patrick drank taro milk tea, I drank yuzu sparkling water. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were unable to finish everything. We walked in the neighborhood a while before riding Lyft back to Palihouse West Hollywood. Rested. I sat by the pool and caught up on journaling. After a while Patrick met me and we enjoyed complimentary red licorice, gummy bears, and slightly sweet iced tea. We returned to the room.
