Venice and Muscle Beaches

We continued along the pedestrian path on our way from the pier to Venice Beach. The boardwalk in Venice Beach attracts a very interesting crowd. One of the many people looking for handouts sported a sign asking for 'Money for Lube', and he shouted 'Support the Masturbation Nation' as we walked past. Others had signs asking for money for the occasional 'nug', which we can only imagine has something to do with marijuana.

We did manage to find a place selling Boba tea, and so we split a green apple boba tea. Mmmm, boba tea.

We continued on further to Muscle Beach, where a fitness company makes their equipment available for free for use by the public, so that passersby can see how big and strong one can get by using their equipment. We didn't see any really big guys, though, only an old man doing some exercises with light freeweights.

After Muscle Beach, we made our way back to the main road and caught the 25-cent Tide Shuttle back to the parking garage. We gave ourselves about 4 hours to make the 2-and-a-half hour trip to San Diego.
