Vegas to Santa Clarita (Just north outside of LA.)

Death Valley.

Just Dessert.

Landside of the mountains around LA.

We saw a lot of sand.

Mann's Chinese Theatre, along the walk of stars in Hollywood.

E.S.

After seeing Hollywod we went to Venice Beach. As they wanted way more $$$ to stay than we wanted to give them,we left for points north. Having bad maps we got lost and decided to have dinner at what looked like a really great Calif resteraunt. We walked in and asked for a table for two and "Where are we?" They said you can call this West LA. Lynn (center back) and Pat (right) had meetings today in Westwood. So we met them after we finished dinner.

Dinner BTW was amazing. It was a California style rotisserie chicken place. I had the "Macho Salad", R. Chicken with Romaine, Goat Cheese, Dates, Pine Nuts, Tomatos. Demaris had the Chicken & Mashed Potatoes. Appetizer was an grilled artichoke with homemade roulade souce.

Just so you know Radio Disney is at 710am here (I forgot to mention it is 1580am in Albuquerque and 1580am in Phoneix/Grand Canyon.)
