Had to decompress with yoga- Mara's Monday-Friday 7 am- 8 am classes, Patty's Tuesday and Friday 10:30 classes, Julie's Monday and Wednesday 17:30 classes. I was in that studio almost everyday- except for the weekends - Saturday, July 9, 2011

Solvang Gardens Lodge293 Alisal Road, Solvang, CA | (805) 688-4404
Little roadtrip with our friends Jason and Jamie to restock our wine-fridge. charming little hotel with an English garden. -
Panino2900 Grand Avenue, Los Olivos, CA | (805) 688-9304
We were starving. Our awesome driver Martin dropped us off in Los Olivos. We got our order in just in time, because moments later a gaggle of sorority girls (probably)/bridal shower party poured into the small restaurant. -
Dragonette Cellars2445 Alamo Pintado Avenue, Los Olivos, CA | (805) 693-0077
Been here before, was worth revisiting. bought some wine -
Bridlewood Winery3555 Roblar Avenue, Santa Ynez, CA | (805) 688-9000
Robyn apparently has a good pour. She comes highly recommended by our driver Martin. Bought some wine. has a beautiful backdrop with a lake and everything. -
Beckmen Vineyards2670 Ontiveros, Los Olivos, CA | (805) 688-8664
our last winery stop for the day. I was too wasted to taste any of the wine. I think Rick did a tasting, didn't buy anything. there was a cool cat sleeping on a cushion by the window the whole time. I wanted to bury my face in it, but would probably have sneezed. -
The Ballard Inn & Restaurant2436 Baseline Avenue, Ballard, CA | (805) 688-7770
also been here before and was very much worth a revisit. everything was delicious. and again, we got 3 desserts. - Sunday, July 10, 2011
-
The Sock Loft1666 Copenhagen Drive, Solvang, CA | (805) 686-0135
Can you believe I spent $92 on socks. At least I didn't buy the chicken hat -
-
Paula's Pancake House1531 Mission Drive, Solvang, CA | (805) 688-2867
Finally made it in after trying for 3 years. Yes there was a long wait. delicious. but disappointed that Aebelskivers were not on the menu -
Carivintas Winery476 First Street, Solvang, CA | (805) 693-4331
We kept stalking this place until it opened. My favourite label, and so affordable. If I trusted our USPS more, I would have joined their wine club. at least we got to buy some wine (4 bottles) to bring home. -
-
Solvang Shoe Store inc1663 Copenhagen Drive, Solvang, CA | (805) 688-4065
looking for comfortable but stylish shoes for work. Cl;arks did not disappoint. My friend Jamie bought the same pair. - Monday, July 11, 2011

Bella Vita Medspa1917 Hillhurst Avenue #204, Los Angeles, CA | (323) 660-7717
continuing with my laser hair removal treatments. #3/6 -
Ramen Jinya11239 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, California | (818) 980-3977
I have been craving their ramen ever since I tried it at Robata Jinya last month with John and Larissa. The ramen here is so good and the broth is so rich, it tastes like the pork has been cooking in it all day, and all the pork fat has melted into the broth. and there was not wait either. -
Marshalls11239 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, California | (818) 753-1301
some impulse shoe-buys just next door after lunch. sensible casual flats/sandals, and then some platforms which I'll probably never wear to work or anywhere that requires standing for more than 30 minutes -
Mini of Universal City4270 Lankershim Boulevard, North Hollywood, CA | (818) 505-7455
another impulse buy at the MINI in the neighbourhood. She's soooo cute -

-
Thai Sabai Inc1937 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, CA | (323) 665-1937
The self- indulgence continues with a facial and massage ($49 hot deal purchased on the Bahn Sabai website 4 months ago). -
Silverlake Wine2395 Glendale Blvd # A, Los Angeles, CA | (323) 662-9024
and the self-indulgence continues even more with Thursday night flight...and again on Sunday afternoon in the 5-pour flights with food pairings. and yes, we bought some wine on both visits -
-
Ginger Grass Silverlake2396 Glendale Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA | (323) 644-1600
after flight dinner. I think I even drank some more wine with dinner - Saturday, July 16, 2011
-
a little picnic, bundled in my slanket, watching Hamlet under the stars with our friends Mike and Kristin. It got quite chilly, next time I think I'll wear my fuzzy one-sie under my slanket -
Oxygen Tango12958 Washington Boulevard, Culver City, CA | (310) 744-6072
The Against All Odds Oxygen milonga during Carmageddon weekend, and a sendoff for Mila before she goes to China - Sunday, July 17, 2011
-
Vista Theatre4473 Sunset Drive, Los Angeles, CA | (323) 660-6639
We watched Harry Potter- Deathly Hallows part 2, while nicely inebriated after Silverlake Wines tasting -
Son of a Gun8370 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA | (323) 782-9033
have always wanted to try this place. It's as good as the hype. My favourite was the lobster roll. and next time I'm going to order more lobster on the half shell. the heirloom tomato and beet salad was also amazing. after the shrimp toast, salmon collar, and linguine with clams I did not have any more room for dessert. - Monday, July 18, 2011
-
Brighton Collectibles340 E Colorado Blvd # 110, Pasadena, CA | (626) 577-3849
I love shopping here. No this time it was not for me, but a belated birthday present for my sister. and the necklace looks gorgeous on her. Did you know, the founders of Brighton were highschool sweethearts? and hence all the heart motifs in their jewelry design -
-
Saigon Flavor2515 W Carson St # G, Torrance, CA | (310) 533-9999
My dad found a really good Vietnamese restaurant. I had the Broken Rice Combo and it broke me- it was so filling. I think there was a fried spring roll, a fried egg, beef, shrimp, ?chicken?, garlic green beans all on a bed of broken rice, and a side of slaw. and now with a full belly I return home so I can start rounding again tomorrow - total distance: 319 miles (513 km)
