USA – Los Angeles – Venice Beach – 19th August

Each Friday in Venice Beach is a small but well rounded Farmers Market (Venice Way & Venice Blvd) which has a great selection of produce. A few of our favorites include home made humus, falafel, salad leaves, fruits and some great tomatoes!

Helen has only three Yoga classes to attend and we are heading off from California on Wednesday of next week for Seattle to begin our Canadian adventure before driving down the west coast. Dave headed out with the Leica for a stroll around the local area and watched some good (and one very poor) skateboarders at the skate park.

We met Sarah at Sauce on Hampton for some dinner which was rather tasty, if lacking somewhat in atmosphere. We walked home along the boardwalk. It wasn’t all that late and we haven’t felt uncomfortable walking along the frontage however there are certainly a lot of strange characters around late at night.
