Friday, November 5th Temperature in the 90’s again!

Hollywood, been there, done that!  Not as exciting as we thought it would be and not nearly as glitzy glamorous as we heard it would be. 
Hollywood Boulevard
and Vine have all the Star’s stars!  But the street is not all neon lights, its full sex shops, tattoo parlours and junk stores.  We took the hop on hop off bus tour which was good as we were taken down
Hollywood Blvd
, Sunset Blvd into Beverly Hills along
Wilshire Blvd, Fairfax
Avenue.  We got off at the Farmers Market and the Grove, which was a very interesting place to walk around and have lunch.  We got back on the bus and drove
Melrose Avenue
, passed the Hollywood Forever Cemetery then back up to
Hollywood Blvd
getting off at Vine – Hollywood and Vine!  We found Roy Rogers Star plus his cement signature and boot print at the Chinese Theatre + Dale Evens Star, and got pictures for Gwen.  Walked back up to
Highland Street
and found the third floor of the Kodak Building which offered a good photo opp of the Hollywood sign.  On our return trip we took the
Laurel Canyon Road
to
Ventura Blvd
and travelled through Sherman Oaks and Encino back to Northridge.
Tomorrow we are meeting cousin Neil and his wife Margaret at 11am in the parking lot of the Getty Centre.  Should be a wonderful reunion for the Stewart boys!
Hugs
R&B
I'm sure you have seen this sign before!
