History! Hollywood! Los Angeles!

Monica and I got up early and drove into LA. Our first stop was El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, a little historic district about the founding of LA. There we met Felipe De Neve (1728-84)

Spanish Governor of the Californias 1775-82
In 1781, on the orders of King Carlos III of Spain, Phelipe De Neve
selected a site near the river Porciuncula and laid out the town of El Pueblo de
La Reina de Los Angeles, one of two Spanish puebloes he founded in Alta California.

Next stop: Hollywood! (that makes the city what it is today)


We went to a taping of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. We saw kinda a lame show - there was no good guests, but c'est la vie! It was neat to see in person!!
