Day two.

So, we had one more day left in L.A. We spent the first part of the day on our car. The thing is, one tire had worn down from the long drive, and we needed to replace it urgently. We decided to go to the Mexican district and find an inexpensive repair shop there. Analeigh, as always, left somewhere in the morning, leaving us alone. While my brother and I went to fix the car, the girls went shopping somewhere. Since we were staying right in the center, the shops were close by.

So, we went to the Mexicans to change the tire. We found a place to do it without any problems. They changed one tire for us for 20 dollars.

After that, we wanted to go shopping. We went to our girls who were at the Beverly Center – a large clothing supermarket in Beverly Hills. Analeigh was there too. Since the prices were quite low for California, we decided to buy some things for ourselves and spend some time there.

After 2 hours, I realized that I had already spent 300 dollars on clothes and decided to call it quits. I picked up my brother and the girls, and we went to Santa Monica beach one more time, and then home.

At home, Analeigh invited us to go out for dinner in Hollywood. Of course, we agreed. We decided to take our car, since so many people wouldn't fit in Analeigh's car (it was a huge mess in there). I got behind the wheel. To be honest, it was a bit difficult for me to drive around Los Angeles; it's a very big city after all. Everyone was cutting me off, honking at me, and I was nervous. And here I was, having volunteered to drive us all to Hollywood. On the way, I almost hit other cars twice, to which Analeigh reacted completely calmly.

We had dinner at a pretty decent retro restaurant in the center of Hollywood, near the Walk of Fame. Analeigh paid for all of us, even though I asked her not to. But the bill was quite small – about 100 bucks. Later, when we were already returning home and standing at a crosswalk, some people recognized Analeigh and asked her if she acted in movies. She replied that yes, she does. It felt so good to know that we had a Hollywood star sitting in our car, even if she was just starting out.

That's how our stay in L.A. ended. There was very little time, very little. Later, my brother and I went for a night walk around downtown and went to sleep, as we had to drive further to San Francisco in the morning.

Los Angeles, like any other big city, has its drawbacks. But it was very pleasant to drive on roads that I had previously only seen in movies.
