Where does The Idiot walk when he’s weary of trekking the dramatic landscape on the Pacific Ocean in Northern California?
He heads to Los Angeles and hikes along the sandy beach from Marina del Rey to Pacific Palisades and then onto uphill trails in the hills.
Parts of one day’s 17.27-mile hike on the Pacific Ocean resemble his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea recounted in The Idiot and the Odyssey trilogy of travel narratives available on amazon.
