It's a nice place to visit but...

For those of you who have not yet been out to visit the City of Hope, you might find it interesting to know that it is actually a beautiful place. There are wide open lawns with wooden benches, a Japanese koi garden, and even an old synagogue. The shul is filled with relics from the 1950's including ledgers that record donations from around the world with the name of the donor, the year of the donation and the dollar amount. It's really neat.

Judah has not yet had a chance to venture out of his room. He has been given the green light, but he doesn't yet feel up to it. Mom is coming over shortly and she is hoping to nudge him out a little.

Will report more as the day progresses.
