Los Angeles
Saturday - June 4th 2016
For today we had planned to visit the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los
Angeles and to go to the Hollywood Boulevard. So after breakfast at Starbucks
we were on our way. Traffic was light and soon we arrived in downtown. Luckily
a car just left a parking spot in the shade near the concert hall and we also
didn't have to pay, because there was still money in the parking meter.
Downtown LA didn't offer that much, but at least the skyscrapers and Frank
Gehry's
Walt Disney Concert Hall
looked cool. After a snack at Subway we walked to the Civic Center and then we
hit the road again towards Hollywood.

In Hollywood we had lunch at
Veggie Grill and got some stuff
at Trader Joe's. There we saw our first celebrity, unfortunately it was also
our last. Former James Bond actor Timothy Dalton was in front of us at the
cashier. Afterwards we drove to the
Hollywood & Highland Center
and before we headed to Hollywood Boulevard, we enjoyed a beer at the
Hard Rock Cafe. The crowds on Hollywood Boulevard were crazy, but we got to see
Disney's El Capitan Theatre, the
TCL Chinese Theatre
and the famous
Dolby Theatre known from
the Academy Awards. Since the crowds were too much for us and the Hollywood
Boulevard itself was underwhelming, we decided to drive to the
Griffith Observatory for
the fantastic view over Los Angeles. Apparently more tourists had that idea
and so we had to park quite away from the observatory. However, we didn't mind
the walk and the view was definitely worth it.

We didn't spend too much time there and soon we drove back to Anaheim. Back at
our hotel we refreshed and then it was time for dinner. So we headed to the
Anaheim Gardenwalk
shopping mall to eat at
P.F. Chang's. The shopping mall itself was quite depressing, since many shops were
closed, but dinner was very good. We spent the rest of the evening in front of
the TV watching the Food Network.
