CALIFORNIA day 5

Erika's friend came over from Texas to check things out here in califas.
so as the tour guide; you cant visit la without going to Hollywood.
right off the bat there was a 30 minute traffic snarl for 1 mile.



first stop, my favorite place in the city. the Griffith observatory.

ive been going there for a long time. one of my best memories was when I was about 10. my grandfather took my brother and I to a "Doors" laser light show. it was about 5 minutes into the show and some dude next to us just sparks up a joint and goes at it.
it has the best view of the city in my opinion. here is kind of a panoramic view from the back section. when there is no smog and a clear day you can see the water on the right.

im not going to lie. I have no idea what’s going on here



after that went to get some lunch down on Sunset. we had to hit up the California icon.... in and out burger. I always get the same thing. number 2 animal style.



driving around the city is entertaining in its self. it never gets old for me. I love the capitol building



while on Melrose caught these shots of "tastes like gold"

hung out at his shop till about 12am then head home. a full day for me.
