Saying good-bye to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, we were on our way to the Pacific Coast Highway. Along the chunk of highway we were on, we saw the beautiful houses of the rich and famous nestled back in the hills of Malibu, gorgeous CA coastline, surfers getting their wave on, and of course, the Santa Monica Pier.
Nobody goes to Southern California and doesn't see the ocean. Believe it or not, I had been there for 6 days without seeing water! Wow, I had been deprived! This wasn't my first time seeing the Pacific, but it was my first time seeing the Pacific in California. The weather was a little chilly, but I didn't care. I'm from Wisconsin, so anything above 60 degrees is considered hot for me. As we headed to the beach, I kicked off my sandals and ran in the water! What a great feeling the ocean was. A funny things I noticed was all the people who were on the beach. I went on a Thursday afternoon, and all those people made me wonder if anyone had jobs in SoCal???!!! Or are they just really rich and don't have to work???
On that same beach was the Santa Monica Pier, which was essentially Chicago's Navy Pier, but 3/4 its size. Santa Monica Pier is a big tourist attraction with souviner shops, restaurants, and it even has a ferris wheel. Is there a theme going on or what?!
The coast is a very nice repeive from the crazy life of Southern California!
Tips on the Pacific Coast Highway:
-None! I have no tips on the PCH. Look around and enjoy it, and take some time to enjoy the beach, whatever beach you decide to enjoy.
