a 24hrs Los Angeles road trip...

4.20am, 23rd Aug 08...
the time we left Fremont, for a road trip to LA.
groggy yet excited (only 4hrs of sleep),
i chatted only because of adrenalin,
& the need to keep the driver awake.

4.20am, 24th Aug 08...
the time we reached back to Fremont, from LA.
groggy & exhausted, no more energy to be excited.
showered and concussed...

literally, a 24hrs Los Angeles Road trip.

the Hollywood sign... kinda small, i know...

took the picture from afar at the Highlands.

Sparring with Muhammad Ali at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Even Obamania is here...

"No more drama; Vote Obama"

Rodeo Drive (at Beverly Hills)...

one of the world's most expensive shopping road with designer labels like Jimmy Choo, Prada, Gucci etc.

Paul Getty Museum...

This oil tycoon guy was too loaded; collected art & antiques from the Baroque era & beyond.

Interesting sculpture... at the museum.

Santa Monica Beach...

Awesome sunset at Venice Beach.

Cat & Fiddle, at Sunset Boulevard.

Stumbled onto this place by chance; i must say it's one the best stumble!

the patio sets a perfect ambience for relaxing meal & great conversation,

with tall trees with extended branches that form a nice little canopy overhead.
