So...We have been in LA for three nights now and tonight is our last! It is very hot and sunny and we have been lying in a park today after walking for miles. It takes forever to walk anywhere in LA. Our hostel is right on the Walk of Fame and we've enjoyed finding many stars including Miles Davis, Dolly Parton, Duke Ellington, Tom Hanks and Igor Stravinsky to name a few...There are thousands!

Yesterday we decided to go to the Beach. We missed the early shuttle bus at the hostel but made our own way which took quite a long time. Venice Beach (Baywatch) was great! We played a game similar to Lacrosse called Leet and I was pretty rubbish at it if I'm being honest. The Sea was amazing and we jumped about in the (big) waves.

Last night, Matt and I struggled to find a club that played music other than what you'd expect to hear on "Deansgate Dogs". It was a brave attempt and we found a bar just off Sunset Blvd after quite some time. We sat and drank beer amongst the Deansgate Dog folk.

Tonight we are going on a hike upto the Hills and Hollywood sign to watch celebrities walking their dogs and to look at their houses.

Laura-Jean-Congratulations on the job! You are a legend!

Gem-Missing you lots too already you beaut! Wish you were all here!! You OK?

Luce-Hope the move out was OK, sorry I wasn't there to help! Best of luck for Berlin-you'll be amazing! Play your little heart out and enjoy it. If you don't play to your full potential, maybe get one boob out? That tends to work doesn't it?

Si-Gotta love you! You should move to LA and do Cabaret! They would love you. We were in a piano bar with an old man playing Beatles songs. You should bring your Bassoon and join him!

Loads of love to eveyone!

Bye for now!
