​BEACHES

Picture
...Continued from yesterday:
   
On Sunday morning we picked up a friend and drove to nearby Hermosa Beach.
Picture
     We walked along The Strand, the walking and biking path that runs for 22 miles along the Southern California shoreline.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Our destination was  the popular breakfast spot, Good Stuff,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...part of the appeal of which is that the place serves not only people but dogs as well.
      While we waited for a seat we watched some beach volleyball,
Picture
...and played in the sand.
Picture
Picture
        We humans enjoyed our Good Stuff breakfast,
Picture
...as did Pinky, who had the chicken and rice.
Picture
Picture
       After breakfast we walked back along The Strand,                      
Picture
...to Pier Plaza, an esplanade off The Strand lined with shops and restaurants.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Then we headed for home.
Picture
      That afternoon, as  the rest of the family was busy with sports and playdates, my daughter asked me how I would like to spend the afternoon. I said I'd like to walk around Venice. 
       And so my daughter and I drove to Venice Beach. 
       On this beautiful afternoon Venice Beach was crowded with a diversity of walkers,

Picture
...bikers,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and folks involved in other activities on and off the beach.
Picture
Picture
    The stores and vendors along the Venice Strand seemed more garish than I had recalled from past visits.
Picture
Picture
Picture
      "Do you have the feeling of being in some kind of dystopia?" my daughter asked me.
       I told her that indeed I did have that feeling. And yet I had to admit that the place did have a little bit of an Ohio State Fair vibe.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
      But only a little bit.
