Such a beautiful experience. The photos are exactly what you get but the tranquility and energy created by Leslie could never come through in the images. She greeted us graciously. We had a lovely chat and then were on our way. We attempted the Upper Rustic Canyon hike, but apparently didn't go down far enough. If you try it, don't take the wooden stairs before the yellow gate. We had a great adventure by a bit more intense and treacherous than anticipated but made for great memories. We explored Golden Mean and Superfood Cafe, both were delish. We ventured to our usual fav spot, Cafe Gratitude for a lay night shake followed by our first walk at the Santa Monica pier. The space was bright and clean and during the week comes with its own kid voiced alarm with the school across the street! LOL. It was a brief stay that left us wanting more!
