Last year we visited North Carolina for a long weekend. If this sounds like a random choice, we were there for a wedding!! (Otherwise there are probably a few other places we would have rather gone!) With very little time, one of the must sees is obviously at least part of the Blue Ridge Parkway! It was still a little early for the bursts of autumn colours that it is renowned for, but we were lucky enough to see the start thereof!! …
On the historic Hollywood walk of fame, you come across the TCL Chinese Theatre (this cinema has been renamed quite a few times over the years!). There are approximately 200 celebrity hand- and footprints and autographs embedded in the concrete in front of this theatre.
The Griffith Observatory in LA, sits on the South slope of Mount Hollywood. This was, by far, our favourite stop in LA!! The building is beautiful, the views of downtown LA, the Pacific ocean to the SouthWest and Hollywood was beyond beautiful!
The Mission District in San Francisco (also know as the “Mission”), is home to wide variety of cultures. The most prominent of these being, Spanish and Mexican. Throughout the Mission, walls and fences are decorated with Murals. These murals were initiated by the Chicano Art Mural Movement in the 1970’s and inspired by the traditional Mexican paintings made by the famous Diego Rivera.
A Historic Landmark in San Francisco and situated in the Heart of the Castro District. When we visited San Francisco in April this year, we stayed just up the hill from this landmark. Although the whole Castro street was under construction, it still stood out as a gorgeous building!
