Here's some photo's from the trip so far. From the top... My hotel on Lincoln Boulevard, pubs and a sub shop straight across the road, so all good! The pier at Santa Monica - the ending for the "Run, Forrest, run..." scene in the film! A sculpture in the centre of Santa Monica (just to show I can be arty-ish!) Beach at Santa Monica. A palm tree (well, when in California...) The beach at Venice, looking remarkably like the beach at Santa Monica! The Hollywood Boulevard star for the coolest man in films - Samuel L. Jackson. T hen it had to be Clint Eastwood's palms, outside the Grauman's Theatre. Finally, the full effect of the outside of the Grauman's Theatre... Much more photos to show, but that'd just be boring - will save that pleasure until I get home!!!
