Seriously, for mental health reasons. First, the warmth was inviting. It was so comfortable during our nice stroll through Runyon State Park, and I especially enjoyed the walk down Venice Beach to get to yoga class. I could certainly live like that.

It helps that our hosts, Vanessa and James, were organized and so gracious. Also, it was nice to see Nikki, Ryan and Ceci on our last night in Los Estados Unidos.
