We are instantly recognizeable as the very pasty white people slathered in SPF 70. Martin applies it well, but somehow I manage to get streaks of it staining my clothing like deodorant marks.
We're staying at the Venice Beach Suites, which is conveniently located and appropriately named. It is in fact in Venice, CA. It is also on the Beach. And our little Suite has a kitchenette as well as a bathroom that would make a Motel 6 proud.
Our room comes with a complimentary bottle of wine and two glasses.
Some people stay at Fine Hotels offering free champagne. We stay at the Unpretentious Inn with the 2 Buck Chuck.
And while I'd love to give it a fresh coat of paint and fix the spot where the smoke detector ought to be but isn't, the room has wood floors, very cool exposed brick, nice staff, free WiFi, and best of all, we can rollerblade right out the front door, and into the sunshine.
Who cares if rollerblading is now passe. So, it seems, am I.
