Sanetha's Country Lane: JULY 14, 2016

5TH day of VACAY!!!

Left Barstow, California. Can't think of any other place that had nothing photographable.

Moving on...

Los Angeles, California. OMG! Traffic! I wasn't driving but I was really an anxious back seat driver.

Our first stop in LA was the La Brea Tar Pits. Husband was really excited about this. This chicky doesn't get it. Kind of like the hoodoos... But it was weird that these tar pits are still bubbling up tar. You can stand there and watch it bubble to the surface - bloop...bloop...bloop...

This was the first time we tried the scooter. I loved it because there is a basket to hold all my purchases!

Rodeo Drive, Cartier, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Beverly Hills, Wilshire Boulevard! Oh my God! These places really do exist! It's not fictional!

Then there was the nightly hunt for a room. I got on line. We wanted to stay on the beach if possible. A particular motel touted itself as being in Venice beach. The price was right. I called. Yes they had a room they would hold. No credit card needed to hold room (RED FLAG ALERT I didn't catch at the time). Checked into room. Paid for said room. Visited said room. AACK! Smelled of urine and beer in the dead end walkway! Room smelled like a bar! We got our money back and left.

Drove down to the real Venice Beach (3miles away)and walked out to the water and people watched.

Got on line. Bless the car manufacturer gods that put Wi-Fi into these new trucks. Got our room in Marina del Rey. Beautiful room with view of the volley ball players(I love summer), and the harbor. Sat on our balcony and had some adult beverages and slept really well!!
