Le et la à L.A.

I shared my hostel room in Downtown Los Angeles with some French guys and a Russian, so the conversations became pretty multilingual. On Saturday, I took an extensive guided tour to the highlights of L.A. on which most of these photos were taken. (No chance to go sightseeing on foot!) We started with a panoramic view from Griffith Observatory, went to the Hollywood Sign and some murals, the Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, and Venice. The tour ended at Venice Beach and Santa Monica. The last photo is the view from my room at sunset; DTLA itself is rather uneventful on its own. Every once in a while, you can spot some film productions, but that's it. Better get a hotel near the beach next time (it's a one hour drive with the metro from here!), but I still have some ocean ahead of me on my trip, so I don't think that I missed out on something.Read more
