Arrived LAX 8am Tuesday (4 hours before we left) severely jetlagged. Cleared immigration and customs easily - have always had a great trepidation a big black dude was going to prod my body! 11am saw us on Blue-bus 3 on our way to Santa Monica and its famous pier.
This pier and its amusement attractions is a relic from the thirties, the carousel was made in 1920's and featured in the Robert Redford movie The Sting.
Being early in the week and not that hot theplace wasn't crowded but there were lots of Japanese and a few Australians like this one -
Walked along the beach path for miles looking for the body builders before realising we should be going south instead. saw a crowd on the beach and joined them before a security guy said "Sir you have to move back" Me: "Whats going on here?" He: "They are shooting a commercial here" Me: "Oh! So where is muscle-beach? He: "Sir that would be Venus Beach, miles away."
So if you see a commercial with a hundred young bodies runing down the beach and an oldie standing there - Its this Gadabout!
