One last fleeting glance at the Pacific.

We survived our ride back down the 5 into LA, Cali drivers are nuts!! They are nice and do not blow the horn at you or anything like that, but the will cut you off with smile, or pull right out in front of you with a wave, but they are nuts! I am calm and cool most of the time, but my palms were sweating all the way up the 5 a week ago, and the were sweating the whole way down today! So many cars, Fast cars at that and motorcycles, and huge stinky trucks! We did see a Fabulous Bentley..I bet it was someone famous. We are staying in the Venice Beach area again, the city was named after these salt water canals were built, they are beautiful to walk though. Louisa loved the ducks and the bridges.

We headed back to the beach for once last stroll after lunch, Louisa was thrilled with the idea and successfully got herself all wet and sandy. We soaked in the view of the sea and idolized all the beach front residents, then took our NH bound tired bodies back to the hotel to get ready for re-entry into NH....I have to admit I love NH, it is where my roots are and where I have chosen to put a few new ones down, but I really really do not want winter this year! I can see why people live in these beautiful tropical places. I guess I have to look at the positive, it would not be such a treat to visit these magnificent places if we were to live in one. This has been a wonderful adventure, and I am looking forward to getting Louisa back to her toys and changing table:) Where are we off to NEXT?????? Bye Bye Southern Cali. You have been beautiful!
