Pictures from a recent trip to Catalina Island...or should I say, "Santa Catalina." The tour guide on our Scenic Tour made it a point to mention that the "Santa" is often forgotten or dropped. He did make a good point, you don't really say Monica or Barbara when referring to Santa Monica or Santa Barbara.
Suggestions if you have never been. When visiting be prepared to just "chill." I wouldn't expect to be entertained with loads of activities in Avalon. Take a tour or tours to occupy your time! I highly recommend the Casino Walking Tour: Click here for Discovery Tours
Other neat-o facts:
- 800 car limit on the island (20 year wait list)
- no door-to-door mail delivery (although KFC "Colonel Sanders" does)
- the winning architectural design of the "casino" on the island is based on the catilever principle--so smart!
- something completely unrelated...the stamen is the male organ of a flower
