Back To The Beach And The Dried-Up Venice Canals

…Continued from yesterday:
                On Monday morning, the morning after the wedding (see yesterday's post), 
we drove back from the hill country of Ventura County,
Picture
​…to the palms of Los Angeles.
Picture
     We dropped Claire off at the airport, but Theresa wasn’t leaving until Tuesday evening and Tom and I until Wednesday morning.
     So Tom and I took our grand daughters back to Manhattan Beach for the afternoon.

     Then we headed back home,
Picture
​...where we rested up.

     That evening there was another show.

     The following day, Tuesday, as Theresa’s plane wasn’t until 5 pm I suggested that Tom, Theresa and I visit the Venice Canals, a series of man-made waterways that flow through a neighborhood a few blocks inland from Venice Beach and one of my favorite Los Angeles phenomena.

     Now, I’d been to the Venice Canals a number of times in the past, but never before in the middle of summer, so I was surprised to see the water level so low, which apparently is what happens in summer.

     From the canals we walked about a mile to a super-cute Venice restaurant with good food called 26 Beach.

    Then we returned home.
    Soon afterwards Theresa caught her plane back to Columbus, 
and I did crafts.

Your blog beautifully captures the surreal contrast between the vibrant beach and the dried-up canals of Venice. Nature’s shifts are striking, and your words make it all so vivid.
