My British friend Claire came to visit this weekend and we lived it up in Pasadena, Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Here are some highlights:
We tried to find the home of Claire’s favourite (that spelling is for you Claire) actor who lives in Pasadena. Basically, we took pictures in front of random people’s homes hoping it was his.
We had dinner in Hollywood after a really cold double decker bus ride.
Showing her around Riverside was pretty fun too.
Some of the best moments were simply enjoying each others company. Also, noticing the differences between American and UK culture was pretty fun. Claire is pretty funny and said some things that the world should hear: (please imagine her accent whilst reading).
* In reference to an “English” Muffin, Claire says, “What is an English muffin? Is this trying to be a crumpet”?
* In reference to refills at the restaurant she says to the waiter, “I would very much like a refill but I do not know how to do it”.
* In reference to my not liking animals, “Do you like kittens from a distance”?
