famous landmarks #1. by hollyday
The Hollywood sign has to be the most well known Hollywood landmark of them all.I was surprised that I couldn't see it from everywhere in LA.
I had always imagined it to be emblazoned across the LA skyline for all to see.
We had to actually hunt out the sign using complicated directions but at last we found it and I felt a little tingle of excitement when I first laid eyes on it.If you have trouble finding it, head up to Griffith Park Observatory.
Here you not only get a great view of the sign in the distance but , if the smog is not too thick, you will get a fantastic view of LA as a special bonus.
Make sure to visit the Science Museum while you are here.
ps. keep an eye out for the squirrels.
