L.A. for a Day

We hitched a ride to LAX to get our rental car and decided last minute to stick around L.A. for the day/night. We stayed in Venice for the most part, walking the boardwalk and cruising up Abbot Kinney, but burritos were had in Santa Monica and a fantastic dinner was eaten in West Hollywood at Animal. The kind of cooking they do there reminded us of the no holds barred approach taken in Montreal, at the likes of Au Pied du Cochon and Joe Beef, where the menus are made for people who like food and dislike diets.

Because we're on the go, and since internet service doesn't come with the view in Big Sur, we wanted to leave you a taste of our quick L.A. visit. Here's some pictures and a YouTube link to the song we're going to play as soon as the wheels of our Mazda hit Highway 1. Turn it up, and maybe it'll put you in the passenger seat.
