"Unlike other travel tales, the existence of Hermosa Beach goes beyond the well known party scene."

I remember this one night at the hostel where people were firing up with $1 margarita drinks.  I looked out the window,
towards the ocean & saw a couple walking hand in hand underneath a full sky of twinkling stars.  I could tell by their body
language that nothing, not even the loud noises from the promenade or the intoxicated English phrases I shouted from
above, was able to penetrate the romance that was obviously being shared between them.  Bastards! -Christel Jørgensen, Norway
