Day-21:Around LA

The moment we entered LA we realized that there were a lot of places in LA to see and that we were never going to be able to see all of them in just 24 hours...EVER.
After short-listing the ones that we could fir in 1 day we drove to our first destination:THE WALK OF FAME.
LA means everything starry,glitzy,glamourous and Hollywood.
The walk of fame was basically a footpath with stars emblazoned on the tiles with names of the greatest hollywood celebrities and sports people on them.
We saw and walked on them all...be it Donald Duck or Jackie Chan or Mohommad Ali,John Travolta or even Godzilla...
The walk of Fame eventually led to the KODAK THEATRE.
The entire street was an exiting place to be with two Michael Jacksons,a Scooby Doo,the Incredibles,Batman,Spiderman,Superman,and even Marilyn Monroes' livening up the streets,clicking pictures and posing in varied styles for the tourists.
We never realized as the morning turned in evening and it was time for us to proceed to our next destination:The Griffith Observatory.Well the name does sound boring.. (You don't need to be ashamed guys....when I first came to know that we had to go there..my first reaction was: "Wasn't this supposed to be my vacation??")
But the place turned out to be so much more interesting than just a boring Geography Class.
It is one thing knowing all the various theories about the earth and another seeing the proof of all that you ever studied about the earth being proven in front of your eyes.
We also saw a great show at the planeterium...(We did catch dad sleeping a few times in the show...but I still liked it.)
It was freezing cold when we stepped out of the observatory and we couldn't wait to return to the warmth of the car.
