Old Friends

6/19/2018

LA is the most walkable city we’ve been to so far. People complain about the traffic but if you only need to walk within one neighborhood the traffic is nonexistent. Since Al and I are on summer vacation, we have to set time aside to actually exercise. This morning we both went in runs and did some pushups, sit-ups, etc. especially being in LA, we have to make sure we keep the beach bods toned up.

The three of us grabbed a quick breakfast; açaí bowls here are amazing, but I chose a breakfast sandwich because it was what’s best for me and my family at that time. The morning started out cloudy, but the sun fought its way  out while we walked down the beach paths. We decided to walk down, and scooter back on the Bird electric scooters. Everyone looks ridiculous riding them, but as soon as we figured out how to start them, they were the best decision of the trip.

I realized none of my previous videos uploaded - they showed up as pictures 😑

All that scootering worked up our appetites so we at healthy/pure grain bowls at Great White (highly recommend) before beachtime. The beaches here are expansive and bright, and provided entertainment. Aside from the people watching, there’s surfer watching. It looks so easy but I know it’s actually so hard. I wish I had some pictures of surfers, but didn’t think to pull it off.



After a few hours we cleaned up for dinner, which included amazing pizzas, grilled veggies, and cocktails. We met up with my friend Nick and his girlfriend Amy. I went to high school with him, and spent a lot of time with him in high school. We unfortunately both failed to keep in touch, but hanging out was very normal, as you can expect with great friends. Time doesn’t really change all that much.



After lots of good conversation and catch up we both agreed we need to actually keep in touch. We headed back to the Airbnb, completed a puzzle, and called it.

Venice really proved to be a perfect town for what we were looking for. A warm, beachy, shoppy, foody town that we could wander by foot or by laying on the beach.
