A great place for food is the LA Farmer's Market. We woke on Friday morning to yet another gorgeous day and saw a pod of dolphins swim by. We drove down the beach and headed to the Farmer's Market for lunch. The area is more built up than the last time we visited and many of the little vendors are gone, but the food choices are still great. There are butchers, bakers and produce merchants along with small gift shops, but most of the space is prepared food stalls. Jeff opted for Brazilian grilled meat, but there are plenty of other choices and lots of desserts and ice cream too. Shady tables are scattered around so you can eat and enjoy the surroundings.
We left and headed to Pan Pacific Park which is the location of the LA Holocaust Memorial. It is a fitting tribute for a large city and consists of six black granite columns which have the history of the war engraved on them. On the ground are the names of the death camps and around the edges were the countries in Europe and how many people were lost. The entire pavilion was fenced in and topped with barbed wire.
Our next stop was Rodeo Drive. I promised Jeff we would just look so we drove to Beverly Hills and cruised by. The traffic was getting heavy so we rode down Wilshire Boulevard through Westwood and Brentwood and made our way back to Santa Monica and finally Malibu. We grilled our dinner and enjoyed the quiet time to walk and look at the ocean.
