Days in Los Angeles
Towards the end of November 2014 we headed from San Diego towards Los Angeles in a car we had hired from Hertz. For once we were going in the more popular direction towards more usual touristy sights. Thrilling though it was traffic volumes were high and the different use of signs and the intricate routes made this a fairly challenging drive. One gets to see a bit of the landscape, but really there is not much to rave about. Still, as we were three, driving there made sense.

Part of the greater metropolitan area of Los Angeles are Santa Monica, Hollywood and Malibu. We were to spend two nights in the Santa Monica Motel. We headed for the beach right away. It is a really lovely, huge, sandy beach with lots of people spending time there, be it to play in the sand, cycle, jog, walk, swim or to work out. There is apparatus on the beach to swing on and attractive young men were making good use of it.

We got to the famous Santa Monica pier towards sunset. That place certainly has a lot of atmosphere. There were several buskers whose music lent magic to a very pleasant evening stroll.

On our way back to the motel we walked past a building of which part of the vertical wall is overgrown with plants - truly lovely.
