Driving down the highway we saw a sign that said “Calico Ghost Town”. With a name like that of course we had to stop! It is an old abandoned town where they used to mine silver….I can’t remember much else about it but they had a really cool cemetery. The ground is really hard so it’s difficult to dig graves so they just end up putting piles of rocks on the dead bodies. Descendants still use the cemetery today (of course the only thing I would remember is the morbid part of it) Check out more here: http://www.calicotown.com/ .

The TownLights, camera, action! We finally arrive in Los Angeles. Coming from a small town I always thought that Toronto was big but W-O-W! Nothing compared to this! So what to do in a huge city such as this? Hollywood boulevard of course! (well I did ask Jeff if we could go to Compton…he said no. *sigh* he never lets me do anything fun!). We went on a sightseeing tour where we checked out famous locations such as Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills (where we maaaay have seen Julia Roberts), saw Harry Potter in the best movie theatre ever-the Chinese theatre where they show the red carpet premieres, and did the walk of fame. It wasn’t long before we had enough of the city and hit up some beaches! The beaches were nice – they reminded me a lot of home—but the water was freezing. We ended up in Santa Monica at the famous pier and ate at Bubba Gumps…yum! We contemplated spending another day and going to Universal Studios but decided that we had had enough of the city life. *queue Willie Nelson* “On the road again”…
