We start this morning with breakfast on the beach at Perry's, a Santa Monica institution.  After eating with our toes in the sand, we walk along the ocean to the historic Santa Monica Pier where Route 66 ends.   

Then we experience Hollywood - walk up the Red Carpet Stairs, see the hand & footprints of Chinese Theater, get great shots of the famous sign, then lunch at Mel's Diner.  

In the afternoon, we visit the new Motion Picture Academy Museum before we cruise down the iconic Sunset Strip and ritzy Rodeo Drive.  

We continue the movie theme with dinner at Casablanca.  Delicious Mexican food, a margarita cart, and flour tortillas, made by hand while you watch.  It's also got one of the world's largest collections of memorabilia from the movie, Casablanca.

This morning, we head over to a tiny nearby cemetery that holds more celebrities than any other in the world - at least that's what they say!  From Marilyn Monroe to Jack Lemmon to Carl Wilson to Frank Zappa - and so many more - it's a lovely, quiet place to visit.       

For lunch, we enjoy a delicious afternoon tea with a Latin twist in a lovely garden setting.                                      

You don't have to be an art lover to appreciate the beauty that is the Getty Center.  The buildings are stunning, the gardens are gorgeous, and the art is world class.  My personal favorite is Van Gogh's Irises but there is so much more to see!

That evening, we have Polish food at Solidarity.
Meal included:  Afternoon tea

We have our breakfast sitting on the sun deck of the motel, then the tour ends.

But we've had a great time and made new friends!
