Hola again...and for the last time!
so sad, our last fun day in LA and also in the great and wonderful US of A has ended. tomorro we head out at 1 o'clock. we have had a great experience, and just to warn you all in case you did not know, but we both come back, still jess and lelle, but not the people that left you all those long days and weeks ago. you cannot go through an experience like this, and experience the things that we have, travel around and see and experience a different culture and expect to return unchanged. i have grown up and learned alot of lessons, and even relearned some that i had forgotten, and for that i shall be eternally grateful. we also had a wonderful time, was kept safe during some difficult and trying times and met heaps of wonderful people. you wont find better people anywhere. we've both made friends for life. and i shall never, ever regret going on this great trip!!!
well today we slept in a little and recovered from our two long, and active days at universal and disney! once we were up and about we took off in the car with Jo and headed towards hollywood!!!
we went to hollywood bld and saw all the stars on the sidewalk and the chinese theatre and the footprints and handprints off the stars our side! and also kodak theatre. that was really cool to see that. you see it in sooo many movies that its great and really surreal to see it all in really life!!! got some pics of the hollywood sign from the kodak theatre. we JUST missed the last tour of the day that goes through kodak theatre. which was kind of dissapointing, as it would have been really nice to see the inside of it all!!! we did get to walk up the walkway and stairs where the red carpet is laid out for the stars. which was pretty cool! their we lots of really weird characters around that area, dressed up in all these costumes from weird movies. i dont think that i recognised any of them! and lots of stalls of people selling hats and jewelry and we also saw one that would put dimenties on your phone!!! they did look really cool though. and also people trying to get you to buy their albums and make it in the world of music.
we left hollywood and took a drive down sunset blvd and into beverly hills on our way to santa monica beach. it was really pretty, that is the fences, gates, hedges that you couldnt see over or through were really pretty!!! but what glimses that you could catch...their where some pretty big and nice houses down their!!!
santa monica beach was pretty cool. was nice and...beachy. actually was really nice to be on a beach again. we had not seen the ocean since we were in portland. and when we were in portland we only saw it twice and it was rather chilly! (yay, go the annual trips to arthurs house) so that was kind of hard seeing as both jess and i are fish and love to be in the water, an i particularly love the beach and watching the sunset!!! they had a pretty cool pier with some nice shops, so we just took a walk down the pier and had a look at some of the stuff, the coolest thing their though was buddy gumps shrimp co. a resturant that was all based around forrest gump. was all decked out with forrests saying and their was even little signs on the table that said run forrest run if you did not want the waitress, and then if you did you flipped over the green sign to the red one which said stop forrest stop. so that was really cool to see that!!!
we then spent the next, who knows how long in really bad LA traffic on the freeways starting and stopping...rather frustrating!!! before we got home and Rod took us out to a really nice buffet dinner where jess and Rod just found out how similar they are!!! in other words, i really didnt open my mouth all night!!! quite a feat for me dont you think?!! :D but trust me, with those two together....whew!!! their is no chance!!!
Jo and Rod have been really nice, as have everyone else that we have stayed with over our travels! and we have had an awesome time everywhere that we have been. so a big thank you again to everyone who was generous and extented their hospitality to us!!! it was great to meet you, or to see you again!!! and we both hope to come and see you again sometime very soon!!!
so buenos noches for the last time!! im going to go and pack my bags for the last time :( i love you all!
your lella

It's been great. I'm praying for your safe travels back home. Will be thinking of you and Jess. I've already captured the video and started to edit. Still working on the rough idea...will probably change it a million times. You know me! "Erin, it's fine!" "No, I'm changing it!" Right? Anyways, caught myself accidentally saying "heaps" today. Katie and I had a good laugh about that one. It just slipped out. Anyways, keep in touch. Luv ya. Adios! (Keep trying to speak that "El Spano." Ha ha...we have you saying that on video. It's great!
