Bergamot Station in Santa Monica is an Arts Centre. There are a plethora of independent galleries and the Santa Monica Museum of Art. It is a cool place, that lays true to it's old industry roots and has all the galleries placed in some of the old train sheds.
We saw some fab pieces of art (Miriam Wosk) and some great photography (Steve McCurry) with unfortunately both of them being massively out of my price range!

We then headed off to the Petersen Automotive Museum on Miracle Mile for an wedding event. Different wedding organisers had spent the day creating tables that were judged by judges and by us (I chose the winner of the people's choice and the overall winner!) The event was lots of fun, with yummy food, and free booze (hurray). But the best part of the evening was the museum itself.
I had never been before, and didn't have any desire to, but the cars were awesome!!! There were lots of hot rods, but also international cars including of course a couple of Rollers and Jags.
Here are some of them (car enthusiasts may want to turn away from my captions - ahem):

Lovely day out with lovely friends.
This weekend marked the last of my cat sitting time in Santa Monica.
It has been lovely staying in an apartment and Dulce my cat to look after was gorgeous.
However I found out today that the little sod had peed all over the lid of my suitcase! A parting gift to show me his love?! I shall remember the good things about him, and after a while I am sure I will forget that I had to spend all afternoon at the launderette...
