Today was an early morning, because we didn't want to miss our Hearst castle tour again. We went to Hearst castle and it's stunning. It's absolutely huge, with over 2 500 pieces of art which was 1/10 of Mr. Hearst's collection. Famous stars gathered there during the '20's and '30's and would mingle and show their movies. The guest houses were huge, and the indoor pool was all made with tiles of 24 K gold! It was so big, it was hard to soak everything in. He had kangaroos, zebras, and other exotic animals on his land, and owned 250 000 acres. Then, we drove to Santa Barbara, and ate at Super-Rica, where Julia Child once ate. The whole city is Spanish looking, and very happening and pretty! We then drove through crazy trafic, with mom gripping on the steering wheel with sweaty hands through L.A. It was rush hour, and as it so happens, there was something happening at Ford Amphitheatre (a movie premiere) so the traffic was pretty busy. It was also a Friday night, on Hollywood Blvd. We took a nice walk along Hollywood blvd. where we looked at the star's tiles, and put our hands where their's were. We walked past the Kodak theatre, and explored the town at night. It's a very very hip and happening place, with awesome people watching;)
