Lost In Venice


So this is a great story.  I saw this young woman, wearing a blue jumper, and carrying a handbag over one shoulder, riding her skateboard in the bowls of the skateboard park on the beach in Venice.  There are guys racing all around the park on their boards doing unbelievable tricks!  This young woman is slowly learning to skate and would swoop down into one of the bowls and around through the other bowls.  She was cautious, and when she got to a dicey spot, would just run off her board, pick it up, and walk back to where she started.  All the skaters here are respectful of each other - I have seen children five or six years old, and the killer skaters stand respectfully by and watch them, as they did for this woman.  The thing that I really love about this, is that if you didn't know the story, she appears lost in the canyons.
