When it snows in New York or in Toronto and especially in Europe), and you are in Los Angeles on business, not to give a rush for spend free time on a day trip to Hollywood. It is much better idea is to take a taxi (in the City of Angels trip is not worth big bucks), and go to Santa Monica — a small town in western Los Angeles County, California. Here you can enjoy a cool breeze blowing in from the Pacific Ocean and boasts magnificent beaches, where you can relax and bask in the sun.

I don’t advise you to swim, because in winter the water temperature is not rising above +20, but we recommend your to put feet in the Pacific Ocean. Be sure to grab a book or magazine and send it to hell your laptop or tablet - rested several hours in the warm white sand and rested from the countless emails and Twitter, you'll feel like a different person.

If you lie sick, walk on the pier shop, located right on the beach. There you can eat, and we recommend that you do it in a famous restaurant Bubba Gump, named after the famous Forrest Gump company, which serves excellent fish and shrimp. In addition to the pier you will be able to ride a Ferris wheel, take a picture of lazy cormorants and order a portrait artist. In general, as Mark Twain would say, at this pier is all that gives life value, and he was an expert in these things.

P.S. A taxi rank is at the beginning of the pier, so you probably will not be late to the Los Angeles airport.
