Venice: The Beach

Ocean Waves
Our first dip in the California ocean.

Venice Beach

The California coast and the Oregon coast are so different in so many ways. First, we would never be prancing in the Oregon coast in shorts or a dress. And second, people would never think to gather for a drum circle because it is so dang windy on the beaches in Oregon! It was a weirdly different and pleasant experience.

Oh, and then there was the crazy guy that was babying the dead, mangled, greasy seagull he found...

Venice: The Street Art

Really cool art and all, but look at that cat!

One of the best parts of visiting a new city is getting to see all the street art. LA had a lot of cool art blasted all over the outside of buildings. All of this is from the Venice board walk. It's amazing how much some colorful painting can brighten up a dull alley way. In my opinion the whole world should be covered in pretty colors.

Venice: The Boardwalk


Tattoos, skating and street art. These were all very common sights we saw on our day spent in Venice walking the boardwalk, and playing on the beach.



After filming Magic Mike, Matthew McConaughey decided to relax and teach surfing.



Though the vendors and cafes have much to offer, most of the fun we had in Venice came from watching all of the interesting people and street acts.



Typical modes of transportation on the boardwalk include roller skating/blading, long boarding, and biking. Though it was more convenient to walk, we obliged with beach cruisers and skates.

We traded these boys an interview for their documentary for a really awkward picture of all of us.
