Here are a few more pictures from the AOI Torrance vacation class field trips. First, students enjoyed the scenery in Palos Verdes and visited The Whale Museum there. The students were very impressed with the museum.
Their teacher said, “The tour guide was really great. She spent so much time with the students, answering their questions and giving them interesting facts about sea animals and the Palos Verdes area. It was a great opportunity for students to practice their English with a native speaker other than their regular teacher.”
Here’s what some of the exhibits looked like:
How many "animals" can you find in this museum exhibit?
We were surprised to learn that it's not real water above those plants. It's just a plastic covering.
Next, the students had a wonderful time exploring Venice Beach. They enjoyed checking out the goods for sale by the local vendors, as well as observing the interesting-looking people that hang out in the area. Here are some vendor tables:
Here's an example of some of things for sale in Venice. We managed to snap a couple pictures even though some of the vendors didn't like it.
We went on a Friday morning, so the boardwalk was pretty quiet. It’s usually much busier on Saturdays and Sundays.

Lastly, everyone really enjoyed checking out all the art for sale on the boardwalk in Venice. “It really adds to the original, local feel,” their teacher explained.

Everyone enjoyed spending two weeks together during the vacation class. Students said, “The group was small so we had a chance to get to know each other. We enjoyed hanging out on the field trips. I would like to attend the next vacation class.”
