The Best Walk in Santa Monica

I am having a lovely time in Santa Monica.


This afternoon I had some free time.


I put in my AirPods and listened to California Girls by the Beach Boys.


What a classic song.


It was the exact right vibe.


I felt good.


I walked from the pier to a local burger joint.


I took these pictures along the way.


For example here is that pier I was telling you about.

I love it here.


Everything is perfect.


Just look at this gorgeous hotel.


Wes Anderson was born on the fourth floor.

And wow do the locals drive some nice cars.


Just look at this one.


I think it is a Ferrari.


It looks fast.


It is bright blue and it has big air holes on the sides.


For when you are going fast.

And look at this next one.


It is a convertible.


It is yellow.


I think it is a Mercedes-Benz convertible.


It is so cool and retro.


Gosh it looks fast too.


I wonder which one is faster?

These were the kinds of thoughts I was thinking.


When I was listening to the Beach Boys walking beside the Pacific Ocean.


I was having all kinds of thoughts.


For example I was thinking writers should write and not make excuses.


But sometimes photos and music just tell a better story.


So here are the rest of my photos.


With Beach Boys lyrics in between.


Enjoy.

Well, East Coast girls are hip


I really dig those styles they wear


And the Southern girls, with the way they talk


They knock me out when I'm down there

The Midwest farmers' daughters really make you feel alright


And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss


They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California


I wish they all could be California


I wish they all could be California girls

The West Coast has the sunshine


And the girls all get so tanned


I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian island dolls


By a palm tree in the sand

Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the States


Back to the cutest girls in the world
