Last Days in the lower 48

Hey everybody, I got tons to catch up on so I am going to do it over a couple of posts. The first will be our last few days in LA before we flew up here to Canada. We Did a LA city tour that took us to the hollywood hills to see some stars homes.

Lawrence Fishburn
Vinnie Jones
This one is the best, the front orange house was Marlon Brando's and the back cream one belongs to Jack Nicholson.

Here are some photos of the view from the Hollywood Hills.

Not very good, the cloud and pollution was sreally bad that day.

The tour also took us to other places around the city, we went to Santa Monica and Venice beach.

We went through Beverley Hills, the richest part of LA where there are no fast food restaurants and each street was lined with a different tree.
Our favourite place was Olvera St. This is the old Mexican part of LA. For anybody that didn't know, California was once part of Mexico, it was declared independant after a war in the 1800's and then later became part of the USA. This street was built when LA was still Mexican, its really cool and filled with stalls selling mexican souveniers like wrestling masks and day of the dead stuff.


It was good to see some more of LA but we were definately ready to leave and see something new. It really is a strange place, really ugly kind of city but there is a lot going on there. On the plus side I was able to drink plenty of these. Anybody that has had them will know what I mean, these beers rule.
