    I do love Santa Monica and Venice, my favourite places in LA. Haven't been to the Getty, it does look cool. Have been to the Hollywood Hills though so I know what you mean about the views. I remember inglewood used to be known as a bad area, most of those areas are much safer now. $99 p/n is really cheap for LA. Enjoy yosemite!

    • @wanderbeard
      @wanderbeard 3 дні тому

      Inglewood seemed alright when I was there, I think it's grown up/gentrified a bit in the last decade or so. LA is so big and sprawling it's hard to take it all in, regardless of how much time you have, so I just picked a couple of spots that were high on my list. Santa Monica definitely had that vibe I was hoping for! Yosemite is amazing. Completely blown away.

      The transportation app was very helpful when there. 1 day or 3 day options are available (and additional options as well). When the bus arrives, you can get in the front or back door, and just show the pass from your phone, though most drivers seemed to not care.

    It was used as a home in about 1910 my grandfather and his family lived in the house. I have visited the house twice. In 1985 I took my grandfather to see the house and there were pictures of his family on display. There person working at the house on that day was familiar with some of the family history when it was used as a house. I went back to visit in 1994 and could no longer find pictures of my grandfather's family and the person working at the house was much younger and had no idea about the school being previously used as a home in 1910.

      What a cool piece of family history! I know that the museum has grown in terms of the content inside by quite a bit, and people are always donating more things. I am sure your family information is still there somewhere. The more attention we can bring to it, the more successful hey can be in the future as well. Thanks for checking out my video! ✌️

      @@wanderbeard It may be awhile before I return. If you come across anything the family name was Johnston. My great grandfather I believe worked in the mine. My grandfather's name was William Johnston. I believe my grandfather had 7 brothers and sisters. When I was there in 1985 with my grandfather, we saw pictures of his family on display. Today you have a lot more stuff on display that looks like general Dominion history. It is great that you keep the museum operating. Thank you.

      My family is still back in Dominion. Next time they drop by, I'll see if they can find anything for you. All the best!

      As a solo traveler, I love the quiet and having it to myself. Rare to find pristine nature life that these days. 😊

    we visited St. Pierre & Miquelon in 2015. We were quite excited to go there but were rather disappointed during our 3 day stay. The ONLY people who seemed enthusiastic about having visitors were the young people working at the Tourist Centre. They were great and really tried hard. Sadly we found that the attitude of the rest of the town was completely aloof. Anyone we encountered in shops and restaurants seemed to care less about us being there. There was one exception - a young man at the Museum was very helpful and informative. Also the appearance of the town was rather run-down - seemed like there was no pride, no attempt to keep the environment clean and the buildings repaired. We found that our 3 day stay was almost too long and we were glad to leave when it was time to depart. It's sad that the over-all attitude was one of complete indifference. I wonder if they have made an attempt to change that.

      Aw that's too bad. I really enjoyed my time, and found the people really nice. A little bit of French did help break the ice and we would have some laughs as a result. It's a harsh place due to the environment, but I found that things were well kept. Being there in April, I really felt the cold of the weather, but not the people. I'm definitely returning again in the future for another visit. ✌️
