A misty morning in Santa Monica. The outlook is 68°F (20°C), similiar to yesterday.
Before we leave Santa Monica we went down to the pier there.
Route 66 - the 2,448 miles from Chicago to Santa Monaca ends here.
The beaches here have been famous for body builders and acrobates for years. Most of this has moved down to Venice Beach these days.
When Liz and Dorothy went to Venice Beach yesterday, they were not impressed with it. There were more large people than body builders and the air was filled with the sweet smell of illegal substances.
The pier here in Santa Monica has been here since 1924, although the ballroom is no longer on the pier.
There is now a fun fair on the pier, but it only opens on 5 March. So we could not go on the rides.
Looking back down the pier, it reminded me of going to Southport when I was young.
As it was Oscar day in Los Angeles today, we decided to leave Santa Monica before it became to busy.
We were on the San Diego Freeway for most of the day, although we did find time to stop at a little coffee shop, that was full of bric a brac. Pat was in heaven.
Our hotel for the next couple of nights, is the Hiton San Diego Resort & Spa.
It is a really nice hotel, but there is a shortage of lights both in the bedroom and in the restaurant. And with my failing eye sight, I needed an extra light to read the menu.
The meal I eventually ordered was very good.
