Beach Life

Phil trying out surfing in Santa Monica Beach

Phil came to visit me for a few weeks and enjoyed his time in seeing West L.A. for the first time. He tells me that he has been in L.A. sightseeing through Hollywood about 8 years ago but, never saw the westside. Gladly, I was excited to be the one to show him around this side of town. 

At first, I was worried he'd hate it or become bored quickly of seeing nothing but the beach. However, I came to realize that it is what he wanted as, coming from the U.K. he rarely saw the sun nor go to the beach at all. Well, he sure saw the beach! I took him along the Pacific Coast, hit up Venice Beach, Santa Monica Beach, drove through Malibu and stopped over at Paradise Cove. On a weekend trip, we went down to Laguna Beach and spent some time walking around the shops. I think we've completed our mission in seeing all of the west side area that one can see in L.A. and much more.
