The weather cleared up in the morning, and by that time we were already about 400 kilometers from Los Angeles. Not bad at all))

Having arrived in Los Angeles for 2 days, we spent quite a lot of time looking for things to see, because the city is HUGE and you have no idea where to go, so this chapter will be a list)

So, the main places to see in sunny LA:

1. Hollywood. The symbol of Los Angeles. That is, the place you go if you only have half an hour in the city. You just have to take a photo by that sign, that's it. Consider it a good luck charm)) Although it is located quite far from everything and it's not easy to get to, they say you can even climb up to the letters, but it will take about an hour and a half...

2. Walk of Fame. Contrary to our expectations, it's not a nice pedestrian avenue, but just a street with stars instead of manhole covers) There are tons of stars, most of these names you haven't seen anywhere except on this floor, but it would be a sin not to step on Spielberg, Jackson, and Sophia Loren))) The Hollywood Wax Museum is located right here with all sorts of Snoop Doggs and other rascals made of wax. You can take photos, you can touch them, you can't melt them. I don't know why, those are the rules here))

Nearby is Ripley's Believe It or Not!, where all sorts of interesting trinkets are collected, and the Guinness World of Records Museum, where similar trinkets are described. Tickets are around $20 everywhere. Ripley's is the most normal of them all - a bunch of incomprehensible paradoxical oddities and fruits of drug-fueled imagination. Portraits made of chewing gum, the world's smallest cars, clocks running backwards - in general, a full set)))

3. Kodak Theatre - the country's main cinema. The imprints of star feet in cement are divided into 2 groups. One - normal boots, the second - half-sized ones, looking like a small iron with a dot nearby, such as Marilyn Monroe's, for example)

4. Beverly Hills - apparently the most luxurious residential area in the world. Villas, fences, and lush greenery, as if mocking all these sparse hills. Lamborghinis drive along the main shopping street, Rodeo Drive, and fans of old and new stars roam Mulholland Drive, eager to see the residence of their idols. By the way, Elvis's house is here too...

5. Santa Monica - a kind of public beach in Los Angeles. The water is dirty and cold, the beach is no cleaner, but warmer, so we never got around to going into the water. We had to go home and we messed up - as we were told later, the main seaside place here is Santa Barbara.

6. Santa Barbara - white walls, red tiled roofs. Houses in the Spanish style are buried in greenery and ocean blue. Porticos, columns, beautiful people. The area is almost more expensive than Beverly Hills, but also on the coast - in general, what an ordinary village guy usually needs))) We didn't see it ourselves, but they say (and it looks like that in photos) that it's really cool there. If you have the chance, definitely go.

7. Russian, Chinese, Black, Armenian, and other neighborhoods. Want to see Russia or China from 20 years ago? Go there. And as for the Black neighborhood - first study kung fu for 3 years and then go in peace))))
