The first four picture were taken in Santa Monica at the pier. This may not have actually been part of the tour...I think we just went there on our own.
Next to me is a giant jade plant. I was impressed and I'm sure my dad would have been too.
Ok, the rest of the picture were taken on our city tour. We first stopped at Venice beach which had a very cool board walk (although it wasn't actually made out of wood) with a lot of interesting little shops.
These are some pictures of the canals near Venice beach. I don't remember exactly how much the little houses cost along the canal but they were ridiculously expensive.
We even got to see Jim Morrison.
Of course one of the stops on the tour was a view of the sign along Mulholland Drive. We were told that we were lucky because since it had rained the day before, most of the smog had dissipated and therefore the sign was visible.
This is a view of LA from Mulholland drive.
The tour also stopped at Rodeo Drive, but only for 15 minutes, which was just enough time to realize that I couldn't afford anything from any of the stores.
The hotel behind me is the Regent Beverly Wilshire which is best known for it's role in Pretty Woman.
Another key LA attraction is Hollywood Boulevard and the walk of fame. I personally found it very tacky with way too many tourists. Jesse agreed.
Grauman's Chinese Theater.
Our last stop of the tour was Olvera Street which is the oldest street in LA.
And that was about it. I thought the tour was a great way to see everything in a short amount of time because I doubt that I would go to most of the places for longer than the half hour that we were usually alloted.
