Los Angeles

Back again ... Los Angeles

Well, well, well - the land of the rich and famous. The weather is much warmer here, reaching 26 degrees around lunch time. As we drove in from San Fran, the luscious green of this place is so inviting. Even though this place is also in drought, it doesn't deter the city from using water to pretty their lawns and gardens.

Hollywood itself is ok with Hollywood Boulevard proving to be a bit of a let down. Maybe we're just not into it! It always seems bigger and better in the pictures. On the other hand, Beverley Hills was wow! We took a tour bus around neighbourhood of celebrities, however, due to privacy laws, current celeb homes were not revealed. Only those homes that once belonged to the famous. Highlight: Hansel and Gretel House.

Rodeo Drive is more like "Must-have-squillions-of-$-to-shop-here" Drive. Tess and I DID NOT shop here for obvious reasons! The streets were filled with sexy people, sexy cars, sexy shops, even the garbage bins and side walk trees were sexy! Frank was at home here (sexy Frank!) but the rest of us felt insignificant.

A drive down to Malibu beach ended our stay before heading to Anaheim where we'll try to end the holiday on a high note with three days in Disneyland ...

Adios (millions of Mexicans here - I think they're trying to re-claim America)
Connie.
