We’re spending two nights at the lovely H Hilton hotel at LAX. Very comfortable, convenient and great views of the runway!

Yesterday evening enjoyed a walk under the flight path and a delicious dinner in a small Greek taverna (Aliki’s) with a glass of retsina – taverna decked out in traditional blue and white and great Greek music for added atmosphere.

Today a bus ride to Venice and a walk through the downtown and to the beach. Lots of street art to enjoy and lots of activity on the beach for a Tuesday morning.

We rounded off the day with well deserved 😫 fresh tamales and margarita at el Cholo’s on Wilshire in Santa Monica.
