"Epic Adventure Day 1 Part 2 ~ Santa Monica, CA!"

Originally meant to be an evening stroll by the Santa Monica beach (which was on the way to Malibu), we ended up reaching there at night. Oh well, night also has it's own attractions!


The two places we targeted were the Third Street Promenade and the Santa Monica Pier. Check out the colourful neon lights in the street!




And the many man-made attractions: trees/plants shaped into dinosaur, spraying water, and a dolphin! Notice I became a camera man for my gf :-S

The street at night is a hive of activity, with loads of people walking around, having dinner, shopping and watching the street performers! There was also a cinema with a super long queue for tickets for The Dark Knight! (I still haven't watch yet...)

A guy playing the piano and singing so emotionally. I was pretty impressed!

Then we head to the famous Santa Monica Pier and catch the sign board!


The pier turns into a carnival at night. It was already close to 1AM then, so we decided to call it a day...

Next: Crossing over to Nevada and Arizona!
