Venice beach was beautiful. We drove and strolled and checked out the fancy homes. There are some great views of the city and out into the ocean all along CA1. There was a little gray-brown haze though. An ever present reminder of just how many people live around here. The whale viewing area off Pt Vincent was great even today. They are out far enough to be clear of the smog and we could see for miles. We saw three whales moving together and just spouting along for our enjoyment. They seemed in no hurry but they didn’t do any fancy cavorting like the one we saw early this week up by Malibu. Still thrilling to see.

We extended a couple days just to see all we had planned but we have got to go soon. Kent is starting to drive like the locals. Tomorrow, The Getty Center then back out into the desert.
