Hollywood Boulevard
Sunday, June 21, 2015We were so excited to finally catch up with familiar faces from back home! After returning from an early morning walk, we found James, Tara, Rob and Nath waiting for us in front of our accommodation. They had just arrived in LA looking just as jet lagged as Ari and I were several days earlier. After tucking into some sandwiches, checking out and storing our bags, we all set off on a walk towards the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Here we are walking past Paramount Pictures on Melrose Avenue.

Later that evening, Ari and I ventured out to the Griffith Observatory. We briefly explored the exhibits inside and star gazed through telescopes manned by volunteers outside. The observatory features a huge telescope which we weren't fortunate enough to look through since the line was too long (and it was freezing cold!), so we bought tickets to see a presentation in the planetarium instead.
We arrived just as the sun had set behind the Hollywood hills.
Linda and Ari in the planetarium. I was so tired that I fell asleep and missed most of the presentation :(

The views were pretty amazing from here, the entire city is so brightly lit. It was unfortunate that we weren't dressed accordingly for the lower evening temperatures, I was so distracted by the cold the whole time it was hard to appreciate it all!
