After arriving Tuesday we thought we just needed a rest. So on with our bathing suits and down to the pool! The temp was in the 90’s, the cement almost burnt your feet as you walked into the pool, the pool was delightful and the two lawn chairs dried us off and even offered up 40 winks! After a light supper we sat outside till 9:30 and came back into a nicely air conditioned bus!
We talked to cousin Neil this evening and have arranged to get together Saturday; B is looking forward to reuniting with his cousin and his wife Margaret.
Drive along 101 into LA
Now doesn't this look like the perfect place to spend a night or two!
Wednesday we decided since the temp was going to 96 degrees that it would be a good beach day. So we left about 10:00 drove over to the 405 San Diego Freeway (parking lot) and down Wilshire Blvd to Pacific Ocean Highway arriving at Santa Monica Beach and pier. We drove ahead to Venice City Beach (Muscle Beach) and Fishing Pier, parked and walked the boardwalk back to Santa Monica Pier about 2.5 miles + return trip in 97 degrees!!! We saw many strange sights, strange people and even a dead body, in a black bag zipped up, with a dozen police investigating that turned out to be a move set! The walk was worth doing. Oh, gas in Santa Monica
Good talking to you Shirley K and Joe, nice to get caught up with each others news.
Hugs,
R&B
