We have been all over the place these last couple of days - as tourists in LA. Yesterday I did the driving; today we took a small minibus guided tour. So we have been to many of the hot tourist spots in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica etc. It is genuinely good fun in lots of ways - e.g. bumping into movie icon lookalikes at every turn. Everything from John Wayne, Jack Sparrow, Batman, Dorothy (from Oz), Marilyn Monro, and Spiderman (halfway up a scaffold). My new favourite place here has to be the LA Farmers market: a great place for lunch and people watching (and lots of shopping if that is your fancy). Venice Beach is about the only place that has been a bit disappointing. It seems to have lost its cool and moved to the sleazy side. My solo pic today is of the "bakery for dogs" at the farmers market. I just like the name!
