I recommend going hiking up near Malibu (Point Dume) or in Santa Anita, where it's a good mix of hiking in the sun and shade. Gorgeous views!
1. You can go to Laguna Beach or Huntington Beach 2. You can go to Crystal Cove State Park 3.
You can go to Los Angeles it has shopping,nightlife,universal studios,fine dining and excellent tourism activities.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
