Okay, so I’ve been to Los Angeles quite a few times. Actually, having lived in Phoenix, Arizona for most of my life, this is an easy thing to do. In fact I’ve had some really great times in Los Angeles and while I was a student at ASU my best friend’s and my favorite thing to do on the weekend was take off and go to LA. The only thing I could say about LA that I’m not a fan of, and this won’t win me any points with people from Los Angeles, but I do not like the Lakers. Keep in mind I’m from Phoenix and I am a big Phoenix Suns fan, so it should make obvious sense why I do not like the Lakers. In fact, I’m willing to bet that the majority of tourist you could find in any of the rooms in the Los Angeles hotels won’t be Lakers fans either. But enough of that, I want to talk about the great things about the city. Okay, and the truth be told, the Lakers are a great team, right now.

Anyway, here’s another thing I’ll admit that won’t win me any favors with locals but one of the best times I had in LA happened a few years ago when I met my good friend there on a business trip. It was her business trip, I was just along for the ride. We stayed in a great room in the Pacific Palisades and had so much fun while we were there. She had only been there once before I think and wanted to do all of the silly things that tourists do and I was just along for the ride so I agreed to just about everything. You see how I’m not taking any responsibility here?

Anyway, we went to places like Hollywood Boulevard and we walked all along street looking at prints and signatures of some of the biggest stars ever. We also spent time looking at all the crafts and jewelry that was available from venders around the Kodak Theatre. That place is even glamorous when nothing is going on and to be honest it was fun walking around in the area. I bought a really pretty jade necklace. So of course we also drove down Sunset Strip and we spent an afternoon on Venice Beach. That was nice, and dang it was interesting. Muscle Beach wasn’t as active as what it’s legend prepared me for, but it was still fun. This touristy trip I took with my friend honestly was one of the greatest times I’ve had in LA.
