It defies logic to a Desert Rat that the same August air that Arizona will get in a day or two is actually cold. My first reaction at walking on the beach at Marina del Rey this morning was, I wonder what the hot months are like here? Wait a minute: this is August! And it feels like the mid-sixties with the wind chill. Now THAT alone makes it a vacation.

The only slightly irritating aspect of the place is being at the end of the LAX runways and the takeoff sounds of big jets is a constant:
Found a little Mexican diner just off the beach, called Mr. G's. Ordered burritos and huevos rancheros to go for the crew back at the pad.
It's Cal, so the neighbors are memorable:
