BPA Nationals: California Experience Day 2

Tour of Hollywood

Kayla Olsen

 

This was the day of the Hollywood tour, in which a small group of us decided to go. We all met in the lobby at 8:00 A.M. then got on to the tour bus. Our tour guide was amazingly funny; he made jokes the whole ride there while still telling us a lot of interesting facts about Hollywood. We started off the day by seeing the big Hollywood sign, then got to walk along the sidewalk to see all of the Hollywood stars. I got to take my picture next to the Beatle’s and Elvis’s Star. I went with a small group and we got to walk around to see all the attractions and shop at some of the stores.

After a couple hours of walking around Hollywood; the tour guide brought us to some celebrity houses including Stan Laurel whom which I am a big fan of. These were all in Beverly Hills, where we also got a picture of the all famous Beverly Hills sign. After that we went to the farmers market to get lunch, it was very large and had a lot of options to choose from. While I was there, I actually saw two famous Viners. I was so nervous that I almost didn’t go up to ask for a picture, but finally my friend talked me into it and I got to say hi and take a picture with them. That was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

From the farmers market we went to a building with a glass elevator, so on the way up we could see all of Hollywood. The views were fantastic, and so different from anything I was used to. When we got back to the hotel, a small group of us decided to go outside and relax in the hot tub for a little bit and while we were there we got to meet a lot of people in BPA from so many different states. Again, we went to bed as soon as we could because we would have to get up early once again to present our website.
