Watts Tower, and Sandy in a House on a Hill

On my way out of Los Angeles, I had an unplanned but fun stop over to visit my ex-Ihouse-neighbour Sandy at her parents' place in Hidden Hills, a gated community to the North West of the city. The house is high on a hill; as I sat there sipping a strong Lebanese coffee, eagles were circling around. Here's Sandy together with her father:
