Canals in Venice

With traffic and my knack for missing exits we arrived in Los Angeles well after dark, too exhausted to do little more than settle into our Airbnb and munch on the snacks we'd picked up earlier at Trader Joe's.

Staying in a guest house in a residential neighborhood a couple miles from Venice Beach, we'd planned on our stay having at least one or two beach days, but ultimately, due to the gloom (which did lift for at least a couple of the afternoons we were there) it was still too cold. We'd also deliberately chosen the Airbnb we did because they offered two cruiser bikes for us to use. Both bikes were large and set up for use by tall people, the seats so high I could barely touch the ground on tip toe. We asked our host if he'd adjust the seat - he said he would, but then never did.

I tried to ride anyway one morning, with google navigating from the bike basket we set out to get breakfast at 26 Beach - delightful options for french toast and egg scrambles with pasta along with an eclectic decor. We got there and back, though I ended up walking my bike for a lot of the trip, when I wasn't liking the combination of a busy road, no helmet, and barely being able to reach the pedals. Since we weren't going to be able to ride the bikes to the canals like we'd planned we tried driving, but after not being able to find parking we drove back and Ubered.
