Hi!

Here's a short report from my 5th and 6th days in Los Angeles, Friday & Saturday, February 28-29th. 

* On Friday I did the gym routine before heading out to Santa Monica. It's a bit of a trek, it took about an hour by train.

* I walked the famous pier and then along the beach south to Venice Beach. This was the hottest day so far, 29C, which took its toll. The walk took almost 2 hours one way.

* Santa Monica was pretty subdued, but Venice is pure craziness!

* I wanted to take a bus back to Santa Monica, but couldn't find the stop. Instead, I found the hip Abbot Kinney Boulevard, and some inspiration came back (maybe rehydrating helped too)

* Finally found a bus a got back to Santa Monica for a late lunch at an old favourite, The Cheesecake Factory.

* Did a short tour of downtown SM and then got a nap while riding the train back to downtown LA.

* In the evening I went to see Whiskey Myers, a great experience. The audience really knew his songs, there was a lot of singalongs and a lot of rockin' and rollin'.

* The Saturday was a little cooler and I did a 3 hour walk downtown, almost magnetically drawn to the market areas around Los Angeles Ave.

* Relaxed by the pool a couple of hours and got a nice IPA and a bowl of chilli for dinner.
