Thanks a lot, Buz. I am a traveling writer from Japan. I like those inside spaces of your well preserved Victorian style house along with your choices of California paintings that hung on the light colors of the walls. I had a very good time staying here.

Walking toward the ocean, immediately, I hit the famous Venice beach boardwalk. Over the wide open sand beach on the right, I could see the cluster of the neons of Santa Monica Pier with its carousel and jet coasters etc. On the left, I could hear the voices of the deep Venice and see the Venice Beach Pier beyond the sandy horizon and the shadows of the palm trees.

I just loved to walk about the beach in the early morning and evening, hoping to stumble onto the remains of the Dreamland California from the last century here and there. I will be back soon, more prepared next time, to absorb the atmosphere of this town of wonder. Doumo Arigatou!
