Beverly Hills ~ Winter Vacation Day 1-3

After going to Hollywood, we went to Beverly Hills.


This sign was located near Michael Jackson's house. First, we were not able to find his house, but we saw some people who were riding a tourist car, and the driver pointed out Michael Jackson's house. That's why we're sure of it.

Micheal Jackson's house
I like Michael Jackson. He was always in trouble just because he was too famous. I know that he was sued by many people, but he won all the cases. And also he volunteered to many charities. I thought that his life was not easy even though he had special talent.


Then, we went to Beverly Gardens Park.
Many people were waiting in a line to take some pictures with the sign.
I found a very big tree near the sign.

 See the big tree trunk!

Then, we went to Rodeo drive, which is the famous high-end shopping street.




There was a big Christmas tree there.



There was also a beautiful fountain with small Christmas trees and...

 a beautiful Hanukkah candle lights.


We saw many luxurious cars, but we were not able to see any famous celebrities.
We enjoyed walking there even though we didn't window-shop because we knew that we were not able to afford it. :)
