Hollywood Walk of Fame and Universal Studios

The post name tells what we did today.
On the journey to Hollywood we went through some extremely rough areas, showing the extent of the homeless. Not that you need to be out of the flash areas to see it, homeless are everywhere here. Although we have experienced them before, it has been quite an eye opener here in LA.
We found lots of stars on the sidewalk that we recognise. Even some
distant relatives.

Mouse sent me to find one star in particular and this is close.

I was going to visit the star of Jim Hansen but we had had enough of the midday heat by then. I did make sure that I found Grover's star just for Mouse.

One for Douglas

And some footsteps for Margaret.

The scenes at Universal were so cool that I filled my phone card up. Now I need to work out the best way to take photos and transfer to the tablet/blog.

The Hogwarts area was really cool with the amount of detail they put into everything.
We watched a few shows, did the Universal Tour and as the crowd thinned a little I went and had a few rides.  The Mummy was my favourite, totally soaked at Jurasic Park (although I dried off quickly in the heat). The Transformers ride shutdown mid-ride, not with me on luckily, and didn't reopen.
We had our evening meal at the Hogshead pub in Hogsmead just below the Hogwarts Castle.

This hogs head grunted and moved around periodicly

The heat of the day was made a lot more bearable with the help of cooling  cloths we soaked in water and draped around our necks. Thanks Graeme.
Vicki was looking at the stars on the way home till she realised they were all planes lining up to land at the airport. There wss heaps of them.
Another late to bed.

I will try to add photos as they come to the tablet.
