New Year's Day 2016

View from Pt. Fermin, San Pedro

It has been our custom for a number of years to visit an L.A. park on New Year's Day. We've been to all of our local parks, so this year we drove a bit and visited Point Fermin Park in San Pedro. This park is the southern-most point in Los Angeles.

It was a sunny, beautiful day. We could see Catalina Island from the Park. We walked around the point and saw kids flying kites and drones!

A bit later, we went to the Korean Friendship Bell in Angels Gate Park, around the corner from Point Fermin. 

Korean Friendship Bell and Pavilion 

This bell and pavilion were given to the United States during the bi-centennial year of 1976 as a gesture of friendship between the two nations. The bell is immense. It is housed in a really beautiful pavilion, painted in traditional colors. You can see the sparkling Pacific Ocean in the distance. It's a lovely setting.

This was a clear start to our new year. Happy 2016 my friends.
