Sorry it has taken me so long to write another post, I have been so busy working. This summer I am working in retail at a store called Fred Segal in the infant/toddler department. My days are from 9:30am – 7:00pm with an hour lunch break, so i have been quite busy. On the two days a week that I don’t work, I go on hikes, hang out with friends, rock climb and try and catch up on sleep.
On one of my days off last week, my friends and I went to Venice Beach, which is about ten minutes from my house. There is a nice boardwalk with lots of vendors, tattoo and piercing shops and cafes.On any given day, people who visit the boardwalk (sometimes known as the ‘weird walk’) can expect to see various entertainers including:
1. Harry Perry( one of the world’s most famous street performers), a man who rollerblades around the boardwalk performing with a spiral guitar and who followed us until we gave him money.
2. A woman with two-inch fingernails and a crystal ball
3. A man performing from his cardboard constructed television set, who was conviced he was a weather man.
The boardwalk also has designated places for graffiti… here are some cool pictures:
Also, I took the weekend off because one of my best friends from Bates came to visit from San Francisco. I showed her around LA, and we celebrated my sister’s 21st birthday. Coincidentally, another Batesie was in town this weekend, so we all hung out. We went to the beach, lounged by the pool, went on hikes and I showed them what the Sunset Strip is like at night. Unfortunately, i didn’t take a lot of pictures this weekend, but here is a picture of my dog swimming in the pool this afternoon.
Lizzie (my friend from Bates) left this evening,but will be returning for the 4th of July weekend with three other Bates friends.
peace,
Charlotte
