I had to do some tests for a new job near Santa Monica on Wednesday, so I thought I would walk around after. I don't get there enough lately and is also much cooler near the beach on a hot day.
A twenty-minute walk from the testing site is lush, Montana Avenue. A lovely, hidden neighborhood.
It has such a laid back, unique vibe, I almost feel like I am in another country.
After exploring the small but interesting village, I could see the ocean in the distance and feel the cool air on my body. I decided to make the trek down since I had come this far.
Palisades Park is visually astounding but often busy. It is so nice to visit on a weekday when it isn't overly crowded.
On a cliff overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Monica beach; the views of the water and mountains are stunning.
My initial plan was just to walk to Wilshire then take the bus home, but no that was not in the cards. I ended up near the 3rd Street promenade. It was relatively empty so I thought I would have a quick explore.
I saw so many interesting things that were going on, from a Body-Part exhibit to an NFT gallery, to a chess game in the middle of the street.

The NFT Gallery is called "Quantum Space LA" their website is here if you want more information. In the front is a gallery that specialized in photography NFTs a lounge and coworking space for Quantum Key owners and an "Artist in Residence" work area. Here is a photo of the gallery's "Immersion room."
My trip to get my TB test read today was shorter. I did stop into Goodwill to look at clothes for my new position and Dick Blick's to stare longingly at art supplies I really don't need.
I also stopped briefly into a cafe and did a bit of sight-seeing on the bus ride home.
Wish me luck next week; I will attempt to post again soon about my adventures.
