Life is full of adventure.
So full of adventure.
I started writing this post on Saturday, while sitting in an overly-air conditioned Starbucks on Monument Circle in Indianapolis; Titus taking the TOEFL exam a few streets away. I need to say that I am NOT a city girl - at least I didn't think I was; - however, as I have been gaining more confidence behind the wheel, trust in the GPS, and yearning to see & explore, I am enjoying the city! [Note: EXCEPT DURING RUSH HOUR.]
While Titus took his four hour English exam - and many many many thanks to those of you who prayed for him!!! - I explored the 2 block radius surrounding Monument Circle.
Last Saturday at this hour, sweet husband and I were in Hollywood, California. Who knows what adventures await us in the next week?
In Hollywood, we walked around Universal Studios City Walk with our friends, Barbie and Ken. Entrance was free, and there were 30-35 shops and restaurants that we perused. We had iced coffees at Starbucks and over-ate at Hard Rock Cafe
After lunch, we got back in the car and on the 10-lane Freeway to Hollywood Boulevard, where we saw the stars
and the famed Hollywood Sign, which was on my LA Bucket List.
We also had the strange opportunity to meet Muscle Man, who was one of numerous characters standing on the street offering photo ops to tourists. Before Muscle Man, we declined numerous offers, but he was so insistent that I finally consented. What I did NOT agree to was the second pose, where he - in one quick motion - lifts me into the air for a second picture. After he slowly and gently lowered me to the ground, he said, "I do that for a donation." A DONATION!?! Of course he does. I could have used the donation to buy a new shirt... the man was SO SWEATY! Seriously gross.
Can you tell by my face that I was NOT enjoying the moment??? HA. (I can laugh about it now.)
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!
We ended our time in Hollywood at Griffith Park Observatory, overlooking the expansive city of Los Angeles, California
Look forward to one last "LA Vacation" post about the beautiful beach wedding at Venice Beach! ♥♥♥
