Our California Trip ~ Day 4 Oct. 19th Venus Beach, Los Angeles & Disney



We had breakfast at the Sidewalk Cafe on Venus Beach while being entertained by a street performer on the boardwalk.





Richard...deep in thought people watching after breakfast.







One of the very unique places we visited were the canals in Venus. Below are some pictures I snapped as we walked the canals.







An architect named Abbot Kinney origianally had 16 miles of canals dug in the early 1900's. Today, only three of the orignial six canals remain. Many of the original homes have been replaced by larger, beautiful homes as pictured below.















Some other residents we ran across as we walked along the canals.













Later that morning we drove past my childhood home in Burbank. To my surprise, it looked almost just as it did thirty years ago.







Then we headed to Disneyland, I got in free for my birthday!
