We went to see our Lady of the Angels new cathedral. It looks a bit bleak from the outside but is set around a beautiful couryard with fountains and orange trees and is stunning inside. There is also a a garden full of statues for the children to play on. Can you name the bible stories connected with these animals?
The cathedral was pretty spectacular inside and the only Catholic church I had been in with no stations of the cross along the walls.
We then caught the metro to Hollywood Boulevard (for $6 you can travel all day on the metro and buses within the city) Spotted lots of famous names and of course had to take a picture of Radish .
There are lots of people dressed up as spiderman etc so lots of photo opportunities
My favourite poster for valentines day was this one with Ken
Blue sky and sunshine all the way for us in LA. I think winter here just means it gets dark earlier. This is how Martin measures up to the tallest man who ever lived
The metro entrance here was pretty spectacular where they had old film spools covering the ceiling and tiles with characters from famous movies.
In the afternoon we took the metro out to Long Beach and saw the liner the Queen Mary
This was in another beautiful site near a development called rainbow village. Very pretty - like Gunwharf but with sunshine.
One more day in the sunshine tomorrow and then off to Boston and the snow and ice.
My favourite sign today was the unforgettable " Messrs Stricken and Sniveller" Undertakers
