After spending Christmas in Las Vegas, I moved on to my next, and primary stop, Los Angeles. During my three days in the L.A. area, I stayed at the Inn at Venice Beach, quite a nice hotel just a couple of blocks from the beach. As I said before, my photos on this trip were a complete disappointment, but I have included some of those from Venice here.

They call it Muscle Beach for a reason.
Scenery.
Walkway.
On the weekends, this place is packed. Still, there are a lot of people for a Thursday.
Tattoo, anyone? This is one of probably 20 in the area.
