There's a lot saints in California

It is clear, in the sixteenth-century Spaniards were around here. We left a lot of culture and much holy names in the process of taking the Gospel here. Those men had a global spirit without notice. The missions followed one after another, small villages were founded everywhere and they are great cities today.
Santa Monica is stuck to the Pacific. That immense sea is the highway to Asia, large markets and ... the future? There are many who already bury the U.S., especially after the shutdown. I'm not so sure, because this giant is capable of anything. 
As for all, a lot of motivation is needed and a boost. Highly developed societies live in complacency and risk the inevitable decline. In the old and civilized Europe it happens, although I doubt if it's older and more civilized.
In Santa Monica, the breeze caresses your face. The long palm trees give no shade but they are very decorative, it is low tide period. There is a homeless beside me, sitting on a bench, talking on his mobile phone, a long and subtle conversation because this man will have their business, friends or other affairs to resolve.
The sea front hotels are a mix of styles. They are some of them with very nice terraces, where you can enjoy a coffee under the shade or the same salad you could enjoy anywhere. There is also an organic market, here in California it is required. This land, with its generous sun and water that humans contribute, produces very healthy and expensive vegetables and fruits.
Malibu, on the right side of the coastline, exhibits its beautiful homes. It must be lovely to have a house by the sea. The sand will come, the winds will wear away the facade and it will require lot of maintenance work. But it will be a great pleasure to take a walk or run on the beach at sunrise, swimming and enjoy a good wine watching the sunset.
No need to be rich, having a frich riend is enough.
