Los Angeles – Day 7 – Southern Beaches – Comedy Club

Today, I headed south on the Pacific Coast Highway. This area is more industrial, especially around Long Beach, with oil refineries and oil derricks, both on land and offshore. 

However, once I passed the congestion around Long Beach, the views were just as scenic, and the waves just as spectacular.  One place I especially liked was Dog Beach, a place created for our four-legged friends.  There were lots of dogs there with their human companions, frisking about and making new friends.  I know my dogs Scout and Harley would have enjoyed having a nice wide beach to run around on, and maybe even take a splash in the surf.

In the evening, I went to the Westside Comedy Club.  There are so many comedy clubs in Los Angeles it was hard to choose, so I picked the one within walking distance.  😊  It proved to be a good choice; the venue was intimate and the comedians were hilarious.  It was one of the best nights on my trip.

Laughter is so important: I try to make it part of every day.  There is so much stress and pressure that we face, it’s important to put it aside when we can and have a good laugh, even if it’s at ourselves and the crazy things we sometimes do.  

If I can make someone smile or laugh, than I feel I’ve contributed to making someone’s day just a little bit better.
