My travels today took me to Santa Monica. That included Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Beach and Santa Monica Boulevard (that was a lot of Santa Monica).
If you havent seen a picture of Santa Monica Pier before, (have you been living under a rock?) one of the most famous features is the ferris wheel. So of course I had to go on it. It cost $5, but the views were worth it, just a shame it was cloudy again, but you could still see everything from Venice Beach to Malibu. I wasnt allowed to ride it alone, so one of the staff got to have a break from work to ride it with me.
I also got to go to Santa Monica Beach. As I mention previously it was cloudy and a bit cold so I didnt go in the water, but, interesting fact, Baywatch was filmed on Santa Monica Beach, so I took several pictures of the lifeguard huts. Sadly there werent any cute lifeguards on show so I didnt get any pictures of them :(
Lastly I walked along part of Santa Monica Boulevard. During my walk I came across an English Pub and Shop called 'Ye Olde Kings Head Shoppe'. Naturally I had to go in. There were mainly food products from home, so I got a packet of wotsits and chocolate bourbon biscuits. Good old English foods.
Tomorrow I get to go to one of the most famous shopping areas of the world, Rodeo Drive. Of course I wont be able to afford anything, but it will be nice to walk around and look like I belong. hehe
Till next time xxx

Wendy Sillence Hi Amy, I met Mum today & got your details from her & I will catch up with your news here. I am so glad you are having this adventure & I'm sure you'll want to see other parts of the US in the future. Keep a tight hold on that credit card in Rodeo Drive! Love, Wendy X
