As a Wandering Mother who has traveled to 44 countries and 156 cities, I condemn the fact that I still haven’t set foot in the American continent yet, like everyone else, when America is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is New York I was watching. However, the universe approves that my first trip within the borders of the United States should be the Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco trilogy, and we say that the guest is not what he hopes for, but the place he finds. We are flying towards Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles Among the accommodation options, we choose Sheraton LAX Get Away, one of the LAX region hotels, because of its proximity to Santa Monica, one of the most beautiful corners of the city, and to the airport, and its reasonable price compared to the city centre.. We reach the rental area in 10 minutes with the free shuttles of rent a car companies from the airport, and check into our hotel 10 minutes after renting our car.
Although it is 5 pm in the USA, <strong Since we are 10 hours behind compared to Turkey/strong, although our body clock has already started to fall asleep since our body clock coincides with 3 am, we ignore this call and reach strongSanta Monica/strong beach, which is half an hour's drive away. /p p style="text-align: left;"/p h4 style="text-align: left;"strongSANTA MONICA PIER (SANTA MONICA PIER)/strong /h4 p style="text-align: left;"strongHe leaves our car in the parking lot right next to strongSanta Monica Pier/strong, which is at the top of the list of places to visit in Los Angeles, We are walking along the giant pier stretching out towards the sea, which we see a lot in England.. strongPacific Park/strong, which tastes like an amusement fair, has seafood-based restaurants, peddlers, lively, bright surroundings..

After loading enough energy, this time we turn our route to the famous Hollywood hill. In Los Angeles, which is a very big city, the order is based on private vehicle life.. Highways are in the form of 6 lanes going and 6 lanes arriving. It is difficult to come across people walking even on city roads.. When you come as a tourist, it is necessary to rent a car as the places to see are quite far from each other and public transportation is weak.. Does it end when you rent a car? it doesn’t end. To get from one point to another, you need to drive at least half an hour each time.. That’s why so much of a trip to Los Angeles is spent on the roads.. The red lights that you come across constantly in the city bore you after a while..
Climbing the mountains, we finally reach the Griffith Observatory, where we can get the closest to Holywood. I thought we’d be closer to the Hollywood sign. ‘We came all this way for this We cover up the feeling of with the consolation of ‘This is the stuff we have now’ and photograph both the Hollywood text and the view of Los Angeles from the top.
We start our journey again as stop at the lights and back to Beverly Hills. Because here is the famous restaurant THE IVY that I want to visit very much.. While on the road, worries such as “We’ve come this far, but I hope it’s worth it” cross our minds, but it’s really worth it.. Our taste experience at The Ivy, the restaurant that impressed me the most in Los AngelesBest Restaurants in Los Angeles,THE IVY is in my post…
SUNSET AT SANTA MONICA
to be evening and watching the sunset in Santa Monica is on our to-do list in Los Angeles. Well then what are we waiting for. Stop and get started at red lights. Fortunately, most of the way between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica is highway, we sigh deeply.. We manage to reach the Santa Monica beach in time, we set the sun down with the accompaniment of ‘My heart will go on’ emanating from the musician friend who performed his art on the Pier.
3TH STREET PROMADE
Sample Pedestrian Zone of the city, which we could not explore because jetlag did not allow on the first night 3th Street We are walking towards Promade, finally we are swinging on the street with the rightful pride of walking around the area closed to vehicular traffic.. 3th Street Promade makes us happy as if we have found an oasis in the desert with its restaurants, shops, and street musicians performing a separate show from every corner.
WALK OF FAME
Our goal for dinner is again praise from many people we have heard of BOA Steak House. Our taste experience at Boa Steak HouseBest Restaurants in Los Angeles, BOA Steakhouse in my article… After our amazing steak experience at BOA, one last effort goes to Hollywood, which is half an hour’s drive away, We are playing the familiar star name puzzle game in the line of nearly 2500 stars called Walk of Fame. Apart from the names on the ground, we do not see any other stars.
As the Los Angeles leg of our trip ends here, we welcome you SAN FRANCISCO we are waiting for my letter.
