Hollywood and Rodeo Drive

Ahh the famous Hollywood sign. I believe this was taken from The Kodak theater. Then we drove up Mulholland Drive and took more pictures of the same sign. There were also good views of the Hollywood Bowl and downtown LA
Everytime the Travel channel or Food Network has a special on hot dogs they mention Pinks. I've always wanted to go there, so this trip we ventured further into Hollywood and ate hot dogs at Pinks. The hot dogs were ok and the didn't get Dale's or my order correct, but it is a historic landmark. In this area of Hollywook street parking ends at 4 PM to try and "relieve gridlock" in that area of the city. So we needed to get a space in the tiny Pink's parking lot. Aaron stood in a spot a man with a Ferrari had hoped to get - so our mini van was able to slide right in.
Then there was Rodeo Drive. We walked into the Dolce and Gabanna store, but had to leave because I was laughing so hard. Men's underwear for $186 and a speedo like swim suit for almost $600. Ah well, most of the people on the streets were tourists like us, but a few were serious shoppers. We did see a couple of Rolls Royces one with a driver and female in the back. There were also other high end cars - Bently, Aston Martin, Ferrari, etc. Below is a picture of the 4 of us on Via Rodeo. But for all the time spent on Rodeeo drive we never saw one horse (so says Aaron)!
