Salsa and street theatre

  Santa Monica, California
Monday, August 20, 2007

It's my last day in Santa Monica, so I decided to check out the pool at the hotel.  I fancied lazing on a lounger for a bit and relaxing.  What I discovered was that the hotel pool was nestled right next to a motorway tunnel.  And like the Mt Vic tunnel, lots of people were enjoying leaning on their horns as they drove through the tunnel.  You'll see in the picture what I mean by close...
 
Anyway, I went to check out the street theatre again today, and took a video of some rather talented tap/hip hop dancers.  I'm going to really push my tech savvy and attempt to put it up here for you.  Watch this space...
 
I also came across a group of around 20 couples dancing salsa, which apparently they do every Sunday evening.  I stood and watched for a while and was kindly invited by a chap I was standing next to, to go to the club where there would be salsa tonight.  I declined...I have to get up at 4.30 tomorrow morning!
