Helping Jen Move and a Walk thru Venice

We go pick up Jen and help her finish moving out of her old apartment. Her old and new apartments are in Marina del Rey, and both are nice. But her new apartment has a wonderful view of the marina.

We watch a large bird building a nest in a tree outside her apartment and realize it's a great blue heron. I could spend a lot of time just sitting on her balcony relaxing :-) There's also a partial view of the ocean, but the marina is what I find wonderful to watch.

Later in the afternoon we go down to Venice and walk along the canals and look at the houses there. Jen and her boyfriend like this area, but the houses are way out of their price range. Even the rundown houses there cost several million -- ridiculous even for the LA area.
