Another day, another weight loss walk. A luta continua. Last weekend the agenda was a long staircase walk in Silver Lake and the Angelino Heights area -- Walk # 12 in the Fleming Secret Stairs book.
We started out at Echo Park Lake. There were some ducks there, although I did not find them all that fascinating.
I encountered a dog on Laveta Terrace.
But the high point of the walk was our exposure to the homes in and around Angelino Heights.
We saw several lovely Craftsman houses, and a lot of Victorian homes.
On Carroll Avenue, we encountered a Japanese tourist come to pay homage to the house, shown at right, that appears in the Michael Jackson "Thriller" video. (Photo from laist blog.)
My favorite property, however, was neither Victorian nor Craftsman, but Spanish, and it was not located in the center of the Angelino Heights neighborhood but rather on the outskirts, on Kensington Road near Laveta Terrace. It is actually two houses, fronting on an incredible cactus garden.

You can see me posing there with Teresa in the photo above.
