During the last week of August I went with a friend Anna on
vacation. Our destination: Los Angeles, California.
Our vacation started in New York at Penn Station. We travelled
via Amtrak and our first stop was Washington, DC.
After lots of walking and almost missing our train we were
on our way to Chicago, IL. We slept (sort of) and by morning we were there.
After a quick breakfast on the train we left and explored the city.
After a day of exploring we headed back to the train station
and boarded the train to Los Angeles. We had a room with seats which at night
time would be beds. We had meals on the train and they were so tasty. We spent
the first night sleeping soundly until the morning. On the second day on that
train we were informed that a bridge had washed out in Arizona and that in Albuquerque
we would be transferred to a bus for the remainder of the trip. This meant no
bed to sleep in and we were angry. So we enjoyed what was left of the train
ride and then we waited.
After a 13 hour horrible bus ride we arrived in Los Angeles,
CA. We collected our stuff and caught the Metro to Hollywood. We found our
hotel but because we were early we put our bags in the storage room and would
come back later. We decided to go to the movies and we saw ‘We’re the Millers’.
Such a funny movie. We walked back to the hotel and relaxed.
We decided to go out for dinner at the Hard Rock Café on
Hollywood Blvd. The food was great and the service was outstanding.
The next day (Wednesday) we went to the LA farmers market,
the Grove (they film the show Extra here with Mario Lopez). We also went to
Rodeo Drive and Santa Monica. On Thursday we pretty much did the same as
Wednesday but we didn't go to Rodeo Drive again.
Friday we rented a car and drove down to San Diego for the
afternoon. We had lunch at the Café on the Pier. We picked up Anna’s friend and
went sightseeing.
We watched the sunset at Ocean Beach before driving back up
to LAX.
