Venice Beach in Los Angels

Kelly couldn’t wait for last summer to arrive. Well, actually she couldn’t wait for any summer to arrive though last summer was certainly destined to be one of a kind and there was a major and special reason that she was looking forward to it. She and her family were planning a two week vacation in Los Angels where she was going to visit her cousin Monique and explore the city. One of the fundamental aspects of the trip was that she was going to get to stay with Monique’s family at their beachfront condo. They had only been living there for about nine months when they invited Kelly and her family to come and visit. Her parents insisted on staying in one of Los Angeles’ best beach hotels but Monique’s parents insisted they stay with them.

However, two weeks was a long time to impose on anyone so they decided to make a compromise, which actually became a dual vacation aspect. They would spend a week in Los Angeles and a week in San Diego. Kelly and Monique had always been close and would have looked forward to seeing each other no matter where it occurred, but Kelly was particularly fascinated by Los Angeles and couldn’t wait to see all of the stars. From the moment she arrived in town she was on cloud nine and full of energy and excitement. She and Monique took a walk down Venice Beach and Kelly was amazed at how many people were there.

There were tons of sidewalk artists and Monique told her she should have her picture painted. The girls decided to get a double portrait and Kelly could take it as a memento of her trip. There were also plenty of performers and Kelly couldn’t believe all the people that were out there. She was fascinated by a particular fiddle player and could have stood there for hours listening and watching the sites. Pretty soon is was time for the girls to get back to Monique’s house as they were all going to go out to dinner. Monique promised to bring Kelly back the next day and show her Muscle Beach, which she thought would really impress her.
