Thursday, February 11-From desert to Hollywood

We left Ridgecrest, California this morning and drove to LA. The temperatures have been great compared to the 6 degrees at home. By the time we left Hollywood it was 95. Yes, I said Hollywood! I mentioned to Sharon that I had never been to Los Angeles so we made a last minute detour and stopped at the Chinese Theater to see some of the Hollywood Stars and handprints. We  then drove up the coast on scenic highway 1 to Ventura. We were able to visit the Channel Islands visitors center and catch the sunset from the Ventura pier. The pier is the longest wooden pier in California and was first built in 1872.
