Today we headed down to Venice beach. The promenade has hippie after hippie selling wares and art (often junk) opposite normal shops like American Apparel and various food halls and snack shops. About half way down we get accosted by a couple of guys who offer us free cd's. Well almost free, after having a quick listen on their portable mp3 players they ask for donations. I actually quite like the track he played so we give him a donation but then they all swoop and we're suddenly surrounded by 2 more offering their own cd's. We back away as gracefully as we can :)
Further down the beach we pass numerous "medical" marajuana stores. It seems to me that you pay these 'shops' $40 and they basically sign you a medical note and give you an amount of hash. Its legal in LA to own less than a gram anyway so I guess this is all legal too anyway.
After a while we reach the famous muscle beach but as its after labour day its frustratingly empty.
We head back to Santa Monica pier for lunch and some sunning on the beach for the afternoon and then head back to the hotel for our final evening in LA. We head back to the Fathers Office bar and this time manage to get a seat and eat a really great burger that was worth the second chance.
Tomorrow we head to Santa Barbera, our first long distance drive and we're looking forward to putting the top down and having the wind in our hair.
