Darrell has created an amazing escape from city dwelling, with flourishing plant life and flowers all around. The photos are just a slice of what it is like to actually stand in the midst of this spiritual sanctuary. He was a superb host, meeting all of our needs, while allowing us the privacy we were seeking. We took his hiking and dining suggestions, and were blown away by the natural surroundings in the area, delicious food, and wonderful people in the Topanga community. We stopped by the juice bar, headed out for a half day hike in the hills, and ended up cleansing our bodies in the waves of El Matador beach...all in one day! It was an experience we will never forget, thank you so much, Darrel, for allowing us to share this piece of paradise you have worked so hard to create and sustain.
