With our final destination of the southern route just a few days away, we slowed down the adventure to enjoy our scenery. After an all American breakfast of eggs and pancakes we lounged in our room until checkout time. We stayed at Bentley’s Boutique hotel as long as we could because our destination was only ten miles away.
There wasn’t a single cloud lingering in the light blue sky when I finally stepped onto the road. The air was clean and my lungs sucked up as much oxygen as possible. I deep green vegetation surrounded me until the town of Venice. I had become accustomed my muscles warming up after several miles so I felt fresh when I turned off the 41 and onto Venice Ave. The street had plenty of shops and unique eateries. The community made me feel like I was back in Southern California.
Fairfield Inn and Suites hosted our stay in Venice. Allison and Audrey greeted me with smiles and kind words when I arrived at the front desk. Crystal and my mom had already checked in and settled. We took the extra time to lounge around and plan out the last few steps of our southern expedition. We thought about heading out to eat but opted for some Asian cuisine prepared by Crystal. I sat in the trailer delighting in the smell of the spices and seasoning of the tofu. Dinner helped relax my entire body. It seemed the light day was also a short one.
