During the trip, Bill G and I stayed at the Marriott in Manhattan Beach. This westward orientation during the trip was something new for me, as whenever I've been out before, I usually end up in the mid-Wilshire area, downtown, and in the case of one of my past Booz Allen projects, Arcadia.
After the USC events of Thursday and Friday (and the after event we enjoyed with Ryan on Friday night on Abbot Kinney in Venice) we did a little sightseeing down at the beach. We found a great beachside restaurant for breaksfast, Uncle Bill's Pancake House, and then took a stroll down to the pier.
Almost as far as the eye could see, from this vantage point, there were volleyball nets set up for league play. It seemed like hundreds of them. In the DC area there are leagues for volleyball, with nets set up along the National Mall, but nothing like this, with sponsorships, advertising, and the like.
Plus they've got two things we don't - the weather, and the beach.
As a wrap - a good trip. Back to the cabin in the next post.
