Huntington Beach

The day after LA I went to Huntington Beach for lunch. It was one of the hottest days there had been in SoCal for a while so it was a great day to be there. There appeared to be a kite competition on. Here are a few photos:

Beverly Hills, The Grove and LACMA.

Here's a short post as I'm trying to catch up!

On March 7th I took another trip to LA with Sonnee and Sara. We decided to go on a tour which took us up near the Hollywood sign, showed us around Beverly Hills, the star's houses, down Sunset Blvd and then dropped us off at the Farmers Market. This was a great way to see the city and we had a great tour guide who made the experience really fun. It was definitely worth the money and waking up at 6am to get there! 
A few highlights from the tour:

The famous Beverly Hills Hotel:

An odd thing to find in the middle of Beverly Hills, The Spadena House, also known as the Witch's House:

 The new Beverly Hills Sign:

We were dropped off at the Farmers Market where we had some lunch and then looked around the Grove which is right next door. The Grove is known for its nice shops and restaurants.

We then walked a few blocks down to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, better known as LACMA, where we had a look around. It's a great museum and really worth a visit.
