Experiences
Venice
Beach, CA, USA
Throughout my visits to this beach I've personally seen Wilt Chamberlain
playing paddle tennis, Kobe Bryant and his wife parking their Mercedes
and Arnold Schwarzenegger eating pizza, what else can I say. I saw Wilt
"The Stilt" playing paddle tennis here. Of all the things
to see. How random is that! 54tillyford
