Memorial Day

The very last holiday of this semester. I really enjoyed another "no school" day, especially when you have a longer weekend. Niiiiiiice. I had a little run in the morning (4 days in a row and my legs are killing me now) and after a quick shower we hit the road. There are still a loooooooooot of places to see here in LA and the number of days left gets smaller and smaller every day. Our favourite area along the Sunset Blvd still needs some more exploration I guess. So this time we went to look for houses of celebs who live in this beautiful neighborhood.

The day itself got more adventurous than we had thought. (see the end :-))

Paris Hilton.......

Nicholas Cage........

Eddie Murphy..........

Aaron Spelling.........

and also these "beauties" where we don't know the lucky owners.....
Then on our way back home we passed Los Angeles National Cemetery and thousands of US flags caught our eyes. It looked very pretty so we entered the place and because cars are allowed here, we drove through it and took a closer look. There are war veterans, from the Spanish-American War, World War I and II , Korean War, etc.

And now what the end of this nice day looked like........ I was driving up Sepulveda Blvd when suddenly.......I am stepping on a gas pedal and......N O T H I N G!!!!!!! The car just died in the middle of an intersection. Bummer!!!! I thought: GAS, and it WAS gas. NO gas again, but the fuel gauge still shows half tank. Hmmmmm. OK, next time I have to watch the miles because aparently I can not trust it. Thanks to being a member of AAA, I was able to leave the place after about 30 minutes. The tank was refilled and it cost only 7 dollars, but because it was my third call, it was also the last one FREE. Hopefully the very last one for me.

So this is how the day started......

And this is how it ended......
