Thanks gents.
We stated the hols in Santa Monica and I wholly agree with this massage found on the top floor food hall of Santa Monica Mall.
Like all good tourists we spent time on the Santa Monica Pier particularly the Soda Jerks Soda Shop and Ice Cream Parlor. We had a couple of stops here and I was so busy eating and drinking it all in, I forgot to take photographs.
Next up was a trip to the Los Angeles Farmers Market and Wow, did we eat-up. We had a tour which constantly provide a never ending and varied supply of foods. By the end of it even though we had walked from the market all the way up West 3rd Street, I still felt bloated.
The original Gilmore Gas Station.
A true Aussie is never very far from his grog.
Here is our little group having one of it's many pig outs.
A walk past the Derringer Cycle shop, couldn't go in as it was closed.
Couldn't resist this little trinket, it was in an Indian restaurant where we had yet another large snack. I have to say you Americans, when you eat, you eat BIG.
Next up will be Venice Beach and a few of the so called 'beautiful people.'

Being a native southern Californian, I apologize on behalf of all native Californians for the many weird and often strange things you may encounter while you're visiting the Los Angeles area...
(I'm originally from Orange County - to the south of L.A. County, by the way)
Great shots and glad to see that you're enjoying your holiday!

No need for any apologies Dave we just had the best time and fun looking at all the wacky, weirdo and amazing things as we progressed up state and then through to Las Vegas and beyond.
good stuff Vic!

Not far from me, so I recognize some of the places your photographed. I am in Ventura County, where things are a little more conservative.

Thanks for the compliments guy' makes it all worth while.
So for those of you on tenderhooks wanting the next instalment including the beautiful people on muscle beach.................here they are.
This guy was trying to make us believe these were real...............he needs to come to Australia..........ours are very real!!!!!!!!!
The view along Venice Beach looking towards Santa Monica.
Not sure what was going on here but it looked interesting!!!!
Sucking pig for lunch. Oohh.....I like the big hat.
Not so sure about this malarkey!!!
Really not sure!!!!!!!!!
Boys seem to be having fun though.
Had a coffee across the path from these happy chappies and one fellow of the group spent much of his time rearranging the signage.................I got the feeling he had a job for life.
Edit: Resizes pictures.

I don't think that particular part of California is part of the real world. Nice pictures though Vic!
