Once back in Los Angeles, I still had a few hours before my flight departed. So, I grabbed dinner at the Farmer’s Market in Hollywood, then drove out to Santa Monica, to bid farewell to the Pacific Ocean.
The “June Gloom” was still hanging around LA, so I didn’t get to see a beautiful sunset.
It’s always tough when a vacation comes to an end, but what a great place to end this one. After staring at the ocean and milling about the pier for a while, it was off to LAX, and back to reality.
