It looks like it is going to be a cooler day today, the forcast is 68°F (20°C). But we are still in our shorts.
As there was a bus stop outside the hotel, we used this to go down to the beach. Pat and I got of the bus to go to Santa Monica State Beach. While Liz and Dorothy stayed on to go down to Venice Beach.
After Pat and I got off the bus, we walked a short block to the beach, passing some great houses. Can you see the small whale on top of this house?
All the houses were well looked after and had their own individual style.
Just before the beach a kind local took a photo of Pat and I.
Lots of palm trees bordering the beach.
Beach vollyball is very popular.
The beach has life guard stations every few hundred yards.
This being Saturday, the beach was quite busy.
There were quite a few people surfing. It was difficult to get a photo of them, as they usually fall off before I take the photo. They are not like the professional ones you see on TV. But I did manage to catch this one before he fell off.
You can also see the fun fair on the pier in the background.
Back on the beach several volleyball games are in full swing.
That evening, after our meal Pat went to our room to rest, so Liz, Dorothy and I went to O'Briens, an Irish Bar on Wiltshire Boulevard.
I'd no idea that San Dieago had connections with Ireland.
