This weekend I left the safety of San Diego for new sensations via Pasadena and Venice Beach, Los Angeles. My specific stop in Pasadena was the Gamble House, a historic Crafsman Home designed by architects Charles and Henry Greene. My favorite features were the extra-large over-hangs over the sleeping porches and the very simple pond and patio in the back, which was recently restored for the bargain price of $100K. The interior woodwork was almost all "Burma Teak" and was based on western arts-and-crafts style with japanese influences. (more to come, gotta run to work!)
