Long Beach Warmshower to Doheny Beach
My Warmshower host Ken is one one of the board members for the hosting site. I saw his posts on the Facebook page and decided to send him a message a few days before arriving. He lives in Long Beach which is surrounded by canals where he takes guests out Kayaking. I hadn't Kayaked since school but it didn't take long to get into the flow once I had the paddle in my hand. Half way through we stopped off for a BBQ on the canal side with a few of his friends before heading back to the boat house. Luckily Ken's house was in a perfect location for me to chalk up another movie location as Ferris Beuller's house was just around the corner. In the film it's supposed to be in Chicago but a search online showed that it was only a few streets aways so I cycled up and got my photograph.
Just before I headed off the next day Ken took some photos including his standard shot of a cyclist holding the Pacific Coast sign. He said he found it on the road a few years earlier but I think he may have unscrewed it from a post somewhere really. Next stop in a few days, San Diego.
