We woke up to some very loud chickens outside of Anne's apartment. There was a moment of disorientation, and then, wait, yes, we are in LA. Why are there chickens? And why do I hear a women disciplining the chickens? Yes, she was yelling at the chickens for being too loud.
 |
| Anne has already called animal control... the coup will be short lived. This cat was hoping for a snack in the meantime. |
After we fully wake up, we get ready and head to Venice Beach (not the actual beach, but the town). Abbott Kinney Boulevard has blossomed over the last couple years.
 |
| We think we see Michael Douglas on the road in a Porshe |

 |
| We ate in the garden. The weather was perfect. It's hard to beat LA weather in the fall. |
 |
| BLAT sandwich- Bacon (Neuske's), lettuce, avocado and tomato. The put avocado on everything in California and I love it! |
 |
| Panzanella salad with burrata! |
With full stomachs, we drive back to Anne's to do a load of laundry. We then went to the actual beach. Again, perfect weather.
 |
| I asked James where the beach was. "The beach is that way" |
 |
| Hermosa Beach. Cute little houses line the promenade |
 |
| James sunbathing |
 |
| Look how empty the beach is. It was 79 degrees and beautiful. |
We head back to Anne's house to refresh and prepare for dinner. Anne takes us to another great place in Manhattan Beach- Simmzy's
 |
| My grilled chicken sandwich. Note the avocado |
 |
| James' burger |
 |
| Shared haystack of blue cheese fries |
 |
| Anne's fish tacos |

We end the night with a walk up the pier in Manhattan Beach. We watched the last of the beautiful sunset.
