So Cal


Yesterday morning I caught the 'Starlight Coast' Amtrak train from Oakland to Los Angeles. It was a long but pleasant journey and I spent the time reading some papers and enjoying the scenery as we travelled down the coast.


I only had one full day in LA, most of which I spent hanging around Venice Beach where I hired a bike and rode up the boardwalk towards Santa Monica trying the little bars and cafes.

That evening, I had a nice meal at an Italian on the Santa Monica promenade and caught a show at the local comedy club. Most of the four or five comics tanked, except maybe the last one, Danny Vermont who by coincidence writes for Bill Maher, a (much better) comedian who I'll be seeing in Vegas tomorrow.
