3rd to Main

My good friend Jenn is getting married in January and I am completely honored to be one of the few to stand beside her in her wedding. Saturday morning, after making some important decisions about a few wedding details, the two of us took a stroll from 3rd street down to Main. In  my head this has always seemed like a huge distance, but it's actually only about a mile and a half and feels like much less since there is so much going on in between. 

Diversion number one, after shopping of course, was the farmer's market. There are actually 3 different Farmer's Market locations in Santa Monica alone. Evidently fresh produce is a big deal here. 

We saw this cute little family eating pizza and watching a guy with a style similar to that of Brett Dennon. I couldn't resist a photo, everything about this makes me happy. (Please note the little guy's mohawk.) 

Cirque du Solei's "Kooza" starts on Oct 16 and they already had the tents up by the Pier! 

Here's something that I didn't know existed; Chess Park. Looks like a good place to play chess, and wear big hats.

Beach.

Paul Statman and the Statmen put on a free concert at the Ocean Park branch of the library. 

 

   

We were pretty happy to sit for a bit and listen to their newgrass and gipsy rhythms.

This woman was fabulous, but left me with so many unanswered questions...
