READING
Saturday, July 18
Anna and I left home early in the morning, but our flight was delayed, and we didn't arrive at
LAX until late in the afternoon. We were really tired, but we took a bus to our hotel because
taxis in Los Angeles are very expensive. When we got to the hotel we rested, and then went out
to explore the city. We had a quick sandwich in a small cafe, and then we headed for Rodeo Drive
to buy clothes.
I bought a jacket and some T-shirts there. I wanted to buy a bag too, but I couldn't find one
that I liked. In the evening, we ate in an Italian restaurant and went to a club to dance. We met
some really nice people and had so much fun that we didn't get back to the hotel until very late!
Sunday, July 19
We got up late and had breakfast in a cafe. I had a big breakfast, but Anna just had some fruit.
After breakfast, we went for a walk around the city. We walked downtown and went to Little
Tokyo. We had sushi there for lunch, and then we took the subway to Hollywood. We walked
down Sunset Boulevard and went to Universal Studios. We went back to our hotel at 9:00 and
went to bed early. We wanted to get up early the next day and explore Venice Beach.
