The Murals of Santa Monica

During the pandemic, it's rather difficult to schedule a birthday field trip. The museums are closed, as well as movie theaters, amusement parks, most places of interest and all dine-in restaurants. Today is Larry's birthday. I decided I would take him on a tour of the murals of Santa Monica. I'm extremely familiar with Santa Monica. I was born there, I went to school for a bit there. I worked in the City for 15 years. 

Bay Cities Italian Market on Lincoln Blvd., SM has some of the BEST take-out food!

We started out at Bay Cities Italian Deli to pick up a sandwich for lunch, later in the day. The Godmother Sub-sandwich is fabulous! I made sure to have a cooler in my car for our sandwiches and drinks.  Then, we proceeded on a driving tour of some of the murals of Santa Monica!

I love this boring 60s apartment building painted to look like colorful row houses
We happened upon this Disney-like mural near 20th and Pico, SM

All in all, it was a pretty good day! We wound around the streets of Santa Monica and saw some very interesting street art. The sandwich was great too!
This evening, there will be cocktails, presents and a lovely dinner provided by Chef Arnaud at , Bloom Cafe.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!
