I ended up changing my background because my Aunt Gretchen and Marianne said it was too hard to read, so hopefully this is easier on the eyes. Ila and I went down to Manhattan beach on our day off. We ended up in Hermosa beach and then drove our way down to Manhattan.

I think I will always pick Sieta Key(Florida beach) over any beach but it was still nice to see the water. The water was super cold and dark, which was to scary looking to go pee in! You know how I am with fish and not being able to see where I am stepping in the water.
This is a picture from the top of the beach that shows the houses that line the beach. You can also see the sidewalk; I guess that is what you call it. I think it goes up and down all the beaches for the bikers and roller bladders. And you really have to watch for them- speaking from experience.

There was a Pro Volleyball tournament going on, so it was pretty busy down there. We actually meet two nice guys down there in the tournament that we might go back and watch on Saturday

After sitting on the beach for a bit we went into the little town and got some pizza. We each got two pieces and sat down- then this guy looks at us and goes are you each going to eat two pieces and we both go yeaaa. He then asked if we were playing in the tournment and if that is why we were so hungry and we had to politly tell him no again. I mean, he must have not noticed that I am borderline midget. I guess people in cali really don't eat much! But booooy was that pizza good !

And after a day of fun, I had to come home to looking at this in the mirror. You would have thought that I learned from living in Florida for three years and I actually did have sunblock on.
