LA - Bring it on!

Well we have said goodbye to South America after a very happy, eventful and exciting, three months!

Mum went on a plane around 11pm yesterday and we boarded ours a little after midnight, bound for LA via Atlanta. We made it to our hotel on Hollywood Boulevard around 3.30pm.

At LAX airport soon after we arrived

After a shower we were ready to take a walk along the boulevard to check out the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood sign and just take in the spectacle of the place.We ended up finding the world's greatest vintage/retro/costume store it took up three floors = oh my God! You all know of my love of thrift stores! We spent a good hour or more in there having a ball, trying on funky hats, capes, shoes - you name it. It turned into a shopping spree and we spent $60!
 

Inside the vintage shope - great fun!

 

We were looking for Johnny Depp's star - but found....

After that we went to the Kodak Theatre - the place where they have the Academy Awards (apparently) and I bought a couple of last minute cheap tickets to see Cirque de Soleil. The show was awesome! We both thought that they were mindblowing - the acrobatics, lighting, staging everything!





Afterwards we bought some pizza by the slice and walked back to the hotel at around 11pm - just in time to see the weird and wonderful Hollywood freaks coming out to play. We even had a chat to a paparrazi camera man out with his video camera to try and catch a few celebs behaving badly.

Eva was totally, completelt exhausted by the time we got back - can't blame her. She did remarkably well though, considering that we have had less than six hours sleep. But LA is supposed to be the city that never sleeps right? and we only have a couple of days to do it all.
 

It is totally surreal being here - everything is spinning us out. Cars stop to let you cross at traffic lights! You can drink the water and put paper in the loo. People all look different - there are plenty of them dressed up as crazy characters just hanging out on the street: like Batman, Elvis of course, Marilyn and others....

And we keep accidentally saying gracias instead of thankyou!
