My aim was to visit at least 100 countries, and with Brazil, I finally did it. I'm now loitering at 104. Or is it 105, I lose count...

Famously fabulous Such a famous strip of road in LA! I believe it's featured in the opening of Entourage?? Regardless Santa Monica Blvd is a good time!

If you are looking for a big main street with lots of shopping and great restaurants I strongly recommend traveling about 90 minutes North to Santa Barbara. Gorgeous beach town with a ton of things to do on and off their main street State street. I travel in and around Southern California/LA/Santa Barbara all the time and I preferably like it better! A great place to stay would be the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). Really affordable and in a great location. It's a steal!
