I’ve been traveling the last 2 and a half wee ks in California, visiting four cities. First I spent my time traveling throughout LA first staying outside of Hollywood (overrated). Then I moved over to Venice Beach and Santa Monica which was a much better area than Hollywood and Downtown LA.
Next I moved on to San Diego, taking a Greyhound Bus from downtown outside of Skid Row (a rather scary place). After arriving in San Diego I stayed on Pacific Beach in a hostel that was right on the beach. Here the weather was great all day long and people just seemed to drink beer, get a tan, and just party all day long.
Finally I met up with a few fellows from San Diego and rented a car with them, traveling up the coast. Our first stop was in Santa Barbara.
The best view of all comes from the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge.
Currently in San Francisco, the weather is cold at night and okay during the day. The cable cars and the style of buildings makes San Francisco unique compared to most American cities.
My next stop? I’m considering some time in Seattle and Vancouver.
