Venice & Santa MonicaWe drove down to Venice and walked all the way up to the Santa Monica Pier and back. The beach is very wide and lined by a tourist walkway where they want to sell you anything - our favourite was medical marijuana ;-)
The Santa Monica Pier was a bit disappointing - much too touristy and without real flare. But I loved walking along the beach and watching people and characters showing of. Everyone likes to be seen here. And again the brown haze along the horizon, since we are close to LA again. The only good thing about that was the sunset! The haze made it look even better.
