ZendCon Trip Day 2: Sightseeing in LA

LA is big. Especially if, like me, you are used to small towns like Vlissingen. You can drive on and on and not leave the city. It is also way too big to see everything in one day, so we decided to go and see some of the most touristy things: Hollywood and the walk of fame.  

As said, LA is big and despite our car navigation system we took a few wrong turns, but eventually we managed to get there.

The walk of fame is a main tourist attraction, so that means a lot of people. A movie premiere at the chinese theatre meant lots of photographers and limousines and even more people. In the crowds, I managed to lose my lens cap and leave it in the middle of the road. (Can you spot it in the picture below ?).

Next stop: The Grove. Time for some serious shopping and eating. Let the pictures speak for themselves....

Our next stop was Santa Monica Beach and the pier. Unfortunately we did not bring our swimming gear, so we didn't get to swim in the Pacific Ocean.

Our final stop for the day was down town Santa Monica where we walked around for a bit, watched the street artists and had a nice Italian-American dinner (while having a big discussion on PHP; getting in the mood for zendcon) before heading to bed. Tomorrow we would have a long trip along the coast to Santa Clara..
