We went to the middle school our son is starting in this fall to register him. The lady in the office asked us where we moved from. I told her Virginia. She asked me where in Virginia. I said to her, "Probably you do not know, but it's small town called Charlottesville." Then she exclaimed, "Oh, my! My husband is from Charlottesville. He went to UVA! Our son went to UVA!!" Well, it's a small world after all...
今日の散歩は海にしようと、夕方、トーランス・ビーチまで行きました。最高の天気だったけど、このあたりは寒流らしく水は冷たいよ。でも、泳ぐ人、ひなたぼっこするひと、ボディーサーフするひと、砂の上でサッカーするひと、フリスビーするひとなどたくさんいた。動画でどうぞ。
We chose the beach as a venue for our walk this evening. The closest is Torrance Beach. The weather was perfect, but the water was pretty cold since we have a cold current here. The beach was busy with swimers, sun bathers, body surfers, soccer players on the sand, fresbee players and so forth. Feel it with a video.
浜辺には、バイク・パスが通っていて、ここから北のほうに向けて２２マイル続いています。マンハッタン・ビーチ、マリナ・デル・レイ、ベニス・ビーチを通ってサンタ・モニカまで。自転車を買わねば！このビーチ、うちから２マイル、10分！みんな早く遊びに来てよ（レンタ・バイクもあるから手ぶらでね）！
There is a bike path going along the beach to the north for 22 miles. It goes through Manhattan Beach, Maria Del Rey, Venice Beach as far as Santa Monica. We NEED to get ourselves bicycles! You can be on the sand in 10 minutes (2 miles) from our front door! You NEED to come and visit us (don't worry about bringing your bikes, since we've got rent-a-bike shops around, ha).
