Two good reasons to visit Santa Monica in Los Angeles. 1. Wasteland.. Savannah’s favorite vintage store.. who is dropping off these clothes?? 2. Santa Monica Pier.. an LA classic with a giant ferris wheel, fishing rod rentals & a Zoltar electronic fortune-teller… rollerbladers in spandex along the boardwalk & a giant golden sandy beach + surfers & skateboards–every micro-culture & stereotype you know about California in one tiny section of the city! Super fun day minus the parking-lot 405 we had to drive back through.
