8:00am - 9:00am
We made it to LA. We went to check in to the Mellenium Builtmore Hotel and had problems with our reservation -- it wasn't there. But it turns out that our reservation was wrong -- it was under Filvestri, not Silvestri.
10:30am - 1:00pm
We headed out. We caught the Red Line to Hollywood Bvd.
We toured LA
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Hollywood Blvd
1:00pm - 3:00pm
We went to the Chinese Theater and got a hollywood homes tour.
3:00pm - 7:30pm
After the tour, we decided to revisit the areas we saw. We started walking. NOW we get to see how big LA really is. We stopped to have our pictures developed as Suyen didn't bring the cable to download pix from her camera, so we have to empty it to use it. We had the pix put on a dvd. It was quite hot and our bags got heavy. We stopped for a drink at a coffee chain store here called the whole bean or something like that. The air smells nasty around here, like burning rubber. I think its pollution. I actually was having a great time. I was taking pictures of all the great googie signs and architecture in the area. LA was where googie was invented.
7:30pm - 9:00pm
We finally found the Beverly Drive Rodeo area after asking directions and stopping for a coke zero at a great googie gas station. Suyen went to the 15 dollar store and got herself a little dress. The clerk there was nice and friendly and told us of our transportation options. We took some pix/vid on Rodeo. Then we et at the Beverly Hills diner. Then we went to the bus stop on Santa Monica Blvd for the loong wait for the number 4 bus to downtown.
9:00pm - 10:00pm
We caught the number 4 bus back to the Hotel
10:00pm - 11:59pm
We got into the room and I set up the puter and started batching tape. For some reason, the firewire had to be coaxed into working right. It wouldn't recognize my cameras.
