Boy, were my feet sore!

On Wednesday, we arranged for some guided tours. We first did Grauman’s, where we saw the hand and footprints in cement and went indoors for an historic tour. The walls were painted with murals in the 30s by actor Key Luke of Charlie Chan and Kung fu fame.



















We then took a 2-hour bus tour of Hollywood, Mulholand Dr., Bel Air, and Beverly Hills.

















This is Jack Nicholson’s house on the right. Yes that’s his tennis court hanging over the canyon.


















We then toured Kodak Theater, where the Academy Awards are held. We weren’t allowed to take pictures there, but it was really impressive.

In the afternoon, we took another tour of Hollywood that emphasized historic sites. This is the building that housed the realty company that developed the Hollywood Hills. They named neighborhood Hollywoodland, which is what the Hollywood sign used to say.



















Last but not least, we went to Jimmy Kimmel Live and saw Lisa Kudrow and David Alan Grier. Again no pix allowed and they even confiscated our cameras.
