Days 14 & 15 - Long Beach,CA and Venice Beach, CA

Days 14 and 15

Hostel in Las Vegas> In-N-Out Burger LA> ZBT Long Beach Apartment, LA> Coffee Bean, LA> Venice Beach, LA> ZBT Long Beach Apartment


            After a rousing night in Las Vegas John and Travis set out for their last long push west. While driving we had to figure out where we were going to stay while in LA. Travis had a few contacts from the ZBT in Long Beach, CA, after having visited them during a ZBT national convention last summer. We contacted the ZBT brothers and they said of course we could hang out and crash at their place. After a few hours travel through the surprisingly traffic filled desert we reached our destination and as expected…..The In-N-Out burger was delicious (for those not fortunate to have tasted food from this glorious restaurant make sure you do if you’re ever on the west coast.) Anyway after In-N-Out Burger we grabbed some beer and hung out with the Brothers of ZBT Long Beach all night. They were cool guys with a very laid back California attitude. 

        The next day we woke up much earlier than the Long Beach guys (we had been getting up with the sun for the past couple weeks) so we went to the California classic Coffee Bean. We hung out got coffee and ate our lunch after coffee in the parking lot in the middle of LA. We returned to the ZBT apartment and moved out as a large group to one of the coolest, craziest, and certainly most unique spots in the country… Venice Beach, LA.


The beach was cool we swam in the huge waves for a bit and enjoyed some fried pizza on the boardwalk. It was a fun day and we repeated another long night of hanging out with the ZBT guys at their place that night. LA was quite a bit of fun as we both expected since it was the only place on the itinerary we had both been before. Twas a fun place with a great attitude but gotta keep ramblin.
