Hollywood -- Griffith Observatory

15 Feb 2009

12.30pm --Hollywood Blvd--
This was actually my second time visiting Hollywood Blvd. The last time I went here was exactly 3 months ago. Well, everything around was still the same. The Chinese Theater, Kodak Theater, Walk of Fame, people wearing costume of movie stars, etc... However, one thing different is that the weather was different. During my last visit, I was only wearing a normal T-Shirt, so did all the people around. This time, I can see most of the people were wearing winter jacket and heavy clothing.

This time we only made a quick stop around Chinese Theater and the Hollywood shopping mall. After the lunch, we went to Griffith Park Observatory for another visit.


4.15pm --Griffith Observatory--
Maybe it was during the peak hour that it was so difficult to find a parking at the observatory. We had to park our car about 0.5 mile away from the main parking lot.

The place offers free admission to the general gallery. However, if you wanted to see more, you can always buy the ticket and continue with the tour to see the rest of the observatory. We just simply had a quick visit and went outside to enjoy the scenery from the top of the hill. From here, you can overlook at the LA town center and also the Hollywood area.
