​​MANHATTAN BEACH ON A FRIDAY EVENING IN MAY

...Continued from yesterday:    
   One Friday evening during our L.A. visit the family was invited to some friends' house for an outdoor get-together.
    Did we mind, our daughter asked, being on our own for the night? To which hubby and I   answered, "Hecks, no!"
       We narrowed our most promising choices for an evening's diversion down to staying home and watching a movie or going for a walk along the beach. We opted for the walk along the beach.
        And so we set out for Manhattan Beach,       
Picture
Picture
       We snagged a parking spot several blocks from the beach, then we walked to Manhattan Beach  Boulevard,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...the main downtown thoroughfare, where one may  cross the streets in five directions.
Picture
   The restaurants, shops and streets along the Boulevard were crowded with mostly masked folks,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     We walked until we reached the pier,
Picture
Picture
...which offered splendid views of the beach, strewn with volleyball nets for the professional tournaments that take place there all summer,
Picture
Picture
...as well a panorama of the houses on the Strand, the walkway that runs along the beach.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and the Pacific Ocean, with the Palos Verdes hills  visible off in the distance to the south.
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and the Santa Monica Mountains to the north.

     Tom on the Manhattan Beach Pier.
Picture
     We walked from the pier back to the Strand,
Picture
Picture
....towards Hermosa Beach, the next town over,
Picture
...taking in the sights along the way.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     The "Walk Streets," residential  pedestrian streets that run between downtown Manhattan Beach and the Strand.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     As the sun began to set we turned and headed back towards the Manhattan Beach Pier,
Picture
Picture
...to downtown,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Then we headed for home.
Picture
    To be continued...
