Active Girl
Santa Monica Steps
When I realized that most of my dishing has been about dishes (from crepes to ice cream no less), I knew it was time to do something active for both you, dear friend and my behind.
Enter in The Steps. All 1,700 of them.
Located at the end of 4th St just off San Vicente in Santa Monica, the steps are hard to miss; you’ll notice people stretching, socializing, breathing heavy or passing out in groups either at the top or the bottom. Rather narrow and steep, it can be hard to navigate when there’s crowds so I went in the evening (it’s lit).
The warm air smelled like sweat and for good reason; some people go up and down the steps for over half an hour. I was a one shot girl and felt the burn when I reached the top. Luckily there was a beautiful view of the ocean and the city lights twinkling. And it was only another five minute walk to Starbucks on 7th.
