We continued up Sunset Blvd from Malibu and found the Menendez home (just because it was only a couple of blocks off the main drag). We went through Bel Air and Beverly Hills, then past all the hotspots on the Sunset Strip. Here's the Whisky a Go Go, where the doors were the house band.
In Hollywood, our first order of business was to see what was up. This theater is on the Walk of Fame, the 16 blocks where the stars have stars in the sidewalk. It advertised an actual visit by the doggie stars of the movie.
After checking our options, we decided to go on the Warner Bros. Studios tour. Very cool. Here's the famous water tower.
Even though we weren't at Disney, I got a picture of Goofy with Bugs Bunny.
On the tour, we saw sound stages, back lots, and got to see the set for Two and a Half Men. They weren't taping that day, but had rehearsed earlier. We weren't allowed to take pictures there.
We were allowed to take pix of the set of Friends, which they keep around for tourists, but no longer use.
Another high point was the flying car from Harry Potter. We also saw tons of props and costumes from the HP movies, but couldn't take pix of those.
It was after dark when we got back to Hollywood and went in search of the Super 8 I had made reservations for. When we found it, it was clear we didn't want to stay there. The desk clerk let us out of our reservations and we're thinking that was because we weren't the first tourists to look out of our element and we decided he didn't rent many rooms for more than a few hours anyways!
We ended up at a nice Days Inn nextdoor to an In and Out Burger and across from IHOP.
I don't know when I'll be blogging again, as I'm going up the mountain today to my brother's. He only has dial up.

Very cool!! You guys look to be having a wonderful time. That's funny about the hotel. Have you tried an In-and-Out Burger? I hear they are quite famous! WE MISS YOU! (p.s. I like the goofy line.)
