Oops, wrong city!
| L.A. Farmer's Market in the Grove | |
| |
| Back on the mainland at last. We are at the Port of Los Angeles, waiting in line to clear customs. | Ron Becker has represented Alan Labs over the last 10 years. This afternoon, he represents himself as a gentleman and friend. Special thanks go out to Ron for helping us deal with luggage issues and taking the time to give us a tour of his home ground. |
| |
| This is for Ron's boss, showing he worked during lunch. We are in the La Piazza, which has an incredibly good Tilapia entree. | Ron and Deb posing for my candid photo. |
| |
| Jacquie and Jas, this is a Farmer's Market like I have never seen before. Put this on your Bucket List. | I have no idea what this is supposed to represent, but the wings have the World Map on them. |
| |
| Ding!...
Ding!... San Francisco... Oops, wrong city! | Farmer's Market behind us. Next stop, Hollywood! |
| |
| I spent about 5 minutes snapping pictures to catch the water jets mid-air. Now look up at the picture of Ron and Deb I had taken 1/2 hour earlier... | Proof we were somewhere famous. Anybody remember the "Route 66" TV show with the 1964 Corvette Convertible? |
| |
| The Sidewalk of Stars goes on for several miles. | Ron had me stand in the middle of the road to take this shot. Was this some kind of payback time? |
| |
| Resident of Hollywood Hills. A movie star maybe? | Panoramic view of the movie star dog park. You may be able to see the Hollywood sign on the hill. |
| |
| Ron seemed to think this guy might be a movie entity. I just saw him as an obnoxious guy that hollered at people and carried a wine bottle. | Typical afternoon smog, but not nearly bad as it was 20 years ago. |
| |
| Sure looks like Jennifer Garner to me! | Warner Brothers Studio, where part of Roger Rabbit was filmed. |
| |
| The ORIGINAL Bob's Big Boy hamburger place. I grew up on Big Boy burgers in Kentucky. | Santa Monica Pier |
| |
| Volley ball, played on the Santa Monica beach, was played well into the night. | Pacific Park rides on the Santa Monica Boardwalk. |
| |
| Had to stop for Hush Pups and beer. To Deb's surprise, the Hush Pups had shrimp in them (Tilapia is as seafood as Deb gets). | Santa Monica Beach. Although taken just minutes before the next picture, the camera made this look lighter than it really was. |
| |
| How the beach really looked to us. | Trapeze School of NEW YORK, in Santa Monica? Go figure! |
| |
| Decent sized waves breaking on the beach. | Entrance to the rides on the boardwalk. |
