Waltarrrrrr, we spoke of you the whole way! We were inspired by your previous adventure, not to mention impressed by your two day adventure. You saw way more detail than we did.

Twas not a walk, twas a dash to the sea! Saturday I was watching Will’s tweets and thinking about my own progress the week before wondering if you guys weren’t secretly riding bikes. Congratulations on the impressive feat.

That was quite an adventure and I’m glad we went! I’m still trying to explain to my friends why I did it (just because!). My feet felt like all the bones were crunching together so I am glad I turned back. it took us an hour and $1.15 to make it all the way back up to Hollywood. Go, public transportation! And of course once we go there, we walked back to the car and I showed Jeff around Fern Dell. Jeff was fine, by the way. Could have walked another 20 miles easy. I fell asleep soon after getting home and am still tired, whereas he is barely sore. I think he stopped and got some of that robot plasma. I’ll get our pictures up this week!

To skyscraper, I don’t think being in shape has anything to do with it. It wasn’t strenuous and we kept a pretty lazy pace. It’s all about sunscreen, wearing frictionless socks and lubing up your toes to reduce blisters. And the stubborn desire to go on past the pain, to where autopilot kicks in.

Ha Robertdean! That photo is hilarious! Thanks for checking in and solving the mystery of the car zooming by with the passenger holding a camera out the window. I thought you guys yelled “walkers!”

There was another vehicle further down aways, heading northbound somewhere in the 24000 blocks that honked twice at us, but couldn’t stop to say hey (probably just as well because we might have asked for a ride the rest of the way).

Sorry we couldn’t stop – as we were coming from a wedding in Gardena and making our way to the reception in Torrance. We did have time to make a make a u-turn and pass you a second time to root you on though.

You guys are crazy!

Oops. My bad. Sake is not swill.
“alcohol-chugging”
Happy brain-fog Monday! Be careful out there.

That was great. Thanks, Julia, for clarifying what kalua pig is. Because when I heard the answer to what you were having, the image of a drunken pigs was beginning to join my mental image of alcohol-swilling Kobe beef…

Oops, I meant “I am IN such awe!”
