This is a great way to fill the time on a long flight! We are en route from LA to NY, 37,000 feet high, passing over Oklahoma (whilst singing the tune softly)! We have sung our way around and now across America as there's a song for almost every place. We took the Metro Red Line to Hollywood for a touristy day of fun and we went through Vermont (as in Moonlight in Vermont) McArthur's Park (was melting) .....and lots of other song titles.
Here's an amazing display above of paper cuts at the Vintag booth

Had a hug from Shrek

Quite simple but so effective
Met up with our NBF!
Last time I was in America people told me I looked like Shirley McLaine... it happened again this time!
I don't get it myself but I thought I'd better compare my handprints with her's at Grauman's.
Clint's were ginormous
We picked up a few Oscars
Then went on to celebrate at the Hard Rock Cafe.
I was chased and yelled at by SpongeBob as I had taken his photograph... he expected payment... Tough!
Hooray for Hollywood!!!.. can you see the sign at the top of the hill?
On to China Town via our $6 day pass for the buses and Metro... other than some of the food items, this was about the cheapest and best value item we found.
I loved Union Station.. .just like you see in the movies! Amazingly it still has the original leather chairs.
China Town, where we had a fabulous meal, a lunch special for under $5 dollars each... jasmine tea, chicken sweetcorn soup, spring rolls, rice, sweet and sour chicken for Carol and chicken cashews for me. We didn't expect so much and the portions were HUGE and we were embarrassed to leave more than we could possibly eat.
Kung Hey Fat Choy or Happy New Year! It's Chinese New Year today, the year of the rabbit, and we just missed the celebrations. Maybe these characters are all waiting for the parade or even a bit part in a movie! Bruce Lee filmed some of his action movies right near to this shop and round the restaurant we visited....it said so on the wall!!
