Day 4: Santa Monica - Beverly Hills - Hollywood - Venice Beach

Today we're touring L.A. meaning we get to see all these famous sights everybody knows from TV. After a morning stroll through downtown Santa Monica, we head to Beverly Hills to walk down Rodeo Drive, which has the most expensive stores that even require an appointment to shop. We continue to drive into Hollywood to see both the Walk of Fame and the handprints of famous celebrities. Thanks to our tour leader Mike, who knows all the secret places, we get as close to the Hollywood sign as possible for tourists. Afterwards we drive to Venice Beach to have dinner while watching skateboarders of all ages (starting at 6 years!) show their skills. In the evening we head back to Santa Monica to watch the sunset from the pier. The day ends on an athletic note: while the guys play football, Caroline, Ruby, Birdie, Maria and I enjoy a game of frisbee.
