I know I saw it. I don't want to believe it, but it was right there: Santa Monica Pier.

I could not possibly think of a "least" romatic place in the planet than that over-hyped and tacky tourist trap filled with merchants selling overpriced hot dogs, cheap souvenirs and a handful of really awful rides.

There is a difference between romantic and thrilling. Kissing on a rollar coaster is not romantic.

I am not germphobic, but kissing a window covered in other people's smeared lipstick does not sound romantic.
