Lara & Julia in Beverly Hills!!
A great day for soccer on the beach!
At 9:00am, Sunday, March 21st 2010, 48 lucky students got into the bus and headed to the gorgeous, sandy Newport Beach. Though the sun refused to shine, it did not stop us from taking a dip into the clear refreshing ocean where the OC was filmed. Not forgetting the activities like eating, playing football or soccer or frisbee and SHOPPING! Some lucky students got to see dolphins and sea lions. It was an exciting moment for all of us. Shopping near the beach was something not only the girls but the guys enjoyed. Finally, at 12:30 we left the beach and headed to the hotel.
On the journey back we got a taste of LA traffic and using it for our benefit we built a strong bond of friendship among ourselves. We can't forget the awesome songs we heard on our way back either!
At the hotel, everyone got into their best outfits to walk the streets of Beverly Hills!! Something everyone was mesmerized by... Everyone was happily snapping pictures. Next, we went to the world famous Rodeo Drive, walking those streets is something none of us will forget. Even so, the highlight of the day was yet to come, there we went to the land where dreams come true- Hollywood!
For most of us who have only seen the sign of Hollywood on TV, here it was in front of our eyes. We are pretty sure it was the shortest two hours of our lives! Having so much to see, the walk of fame, those amazing street characters, Madame Tussauds, and the street vendors was an amazing evening. The streets were colorful and so lively! Something so precious and breathtaking that would for ever be in our memories. It was impossible that any one of us could have covered the entire street as there was just so much to SEE! Despite being overwhelmed with excitement and enthusiasm, it was time for dinner.
We then went to Sizzlers, a soup and salad buffet very close to Hollywood. that was the best meal one could have to finish up such a great day. it was indeed a great start and we are still very excited and looking forward for the rest of our week and this amazing California Adventure!
