after lunch at the Farmer’s Market
we headed to Sunset Strip in Hollywood. . .
Liz got an exceptionally good pic of the Hollywood sign. . .
here are a few more things we saw as we whizzed past. . .
Capitol Records
all things garlic restaurant. . .yum!
the Beverly Hills Police station
where Zsa Zsa Gabor was taken for slapping an officer. . .oops!
actually the Beverly Hills City Hall. ..
but portrayed as the Police Station in some movie. . .
I don’t know which one. . .just sayin’
House of Blues owned by Dan Akroyd,
and featured in several movies as well. . .no clue!
scheduled to be torn down and relocated. . .
statue of John Wayne. . .
the bougainvilla all over town is just glorious. . .
and now. . .on to the main event. . .
the Hollywood Walk of Fame
and the handprints, footprints signatures
located in the front courtyard of the Chinese Theatre. . .
a few of my faves. . .
Now. . .you would think getting your very own Hollywood Star
would be “extra, extra special”. . .right?
hmmmm. . .well. . .there are sixteen BLOCKS of these “Stars”
lining both sides of the street. . .whoop tee doo is what I thought. . .
if you breathe (and generate a certain number of $$$$$$ signs)
I guess you get one. . .’cause I’m tellin you. . .
some of the folks names I saw all glittered up
were not really all that special (in my opinion – you understand)
. . .AND. . .
by the time we made it back around to explore the handprints/footprints further
this is how the courtyard looked. . .LOL!
Wall to Wall Tourists. . .extremely entertaining. . .
at this point, we all decided we had pretty much had our fill for the day. . .
We came. . .we saw. . .we did NOT necessarily conquer. . .
but we sure had fun trying!
See you next time at the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. . .whoooo weee. . .
’til then,
Janice and Dave
