Los Angeles

We are only here for a day and a half so it has been an exhausting whirlwind tour of the City.  We arrived early afternoon yesterday and went straight to the Getty Museum.  We didn't have time to do the galleries unfortunately as they closed at 5.30 p.m. and spent our time wandering round the grounds. 

Today we did as many of the sites as we could visiting Rodeo Drive (shopping for the very rich and famous), Sunset Boulevard (Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre etc), the "Sign viewpoint", Mulholland Drive (where the rich and famous live) and the Marina del Rey (where Tim Clarke works and lives!).  We went to see Tim at work at West Marine but he had a day off so we spent some money and left a message.
