Los Angeles Boulevards and the Whisky a Go Go/ Los Bulevares de Los Angeles y el Whisky a Go Go






First night in LA with Ana. We decided to go out and see town. We went out to Hollywood Boulevard first, walking along the the footpath covered with stars- it goes on for blocks and blocks, and there were so many of them which we had no idea who they were. But anyone gets a star- Donald Duck, the Rugrats, it's too much I think, but kinda cool as well. We went to Grauman's Chinese Theatre (where all the hands and feet and signatures of the famous people are on the pavement) and walked around the area a bit. After that, off to Sunset Strip- the part of Sunset Boulevard where the bars/restaurants/nightclubs are. First stop: The Whisky a Go Go. This is the place where The Doors first starting performing. I am a HUGE Doors fan. I couldn't believe I was there, in the same room where The Doors had been, touching the stage where they used to perform. It was like being in a dream, I looked around at everything and took pictures of the room I had seen so many many times in picture since I was like 13 years old. After that, I was happy and felt accomplished. We went to a bar on the Strip (no clue which one) and stayed there a few hours, and then off to bed to the hostel.

Primera noche en LA con Ana. Decidimos salir y ver la ciudad. Primero fuimos a Hollywood Boulevard, caminando por las veredas cubiertas de estrellas- son cuadras y cuadras, y habia montones de nombres que no teniamos idea quienes eran. Pero le ponen una estrella a cualquiera- el pato Donald, Aventuras en Panales, me parece que es un poco demasiado, pero esta bueno tambien. Fuimos al Teatro Chino de Grauman (donde estan las manos, pies, y firmas de los famosos en la vereda) y caminamos por ahi un poco. Despues de eso, a Sunset Strip- la parte de Sunset Boulevard donde estan los bares/restaurantes/boliches. Primera parada: el Whisky a Go Go. Este es el lugar donde los Doors empezaron a tocar en sus comienzos. Soy GRAN fanatica de los Doors. No podia creer estar ahi, en el mismo lugar donde los Doors estuvieron, tocando el escenario donde tocaban. Era como estar en un sueno, mire todo y saque fotos del lugar que yo habia visto en tantas y tantas fotos desde que tenia 13 anios. Despues de eso, estaba feliz y me sentia realizada. Fuimos a un bar del Strip (ni idea cual) y nos quedamos ahi unas horas, y despues a dormir al hostel.
