Today we slept in until 8am, yeah! This morning wandered around and had a look in the expensive shops. This afternoon we went on two tours.

The first tour took us around Los Angeles. We visits Old Town which was the original Mexican settlement in Los Angeles. We also saw the Walt Disney Auditorium, the inner city of Los Angeles. The bus driver pointed out some buildings and told us some interesting stories about Los Angeles.

The second took took us around Beverley Hills and showed us where some of the music and movie stars live.

Today we went to Pismo Beach. On the way we stopped at 2 places, Carmel and Monterey.

In Carmel we visited Carmel mission. Carmel mission was built in 1737 it was a very beautiful church.

We stopped for lunch in Monterey. While we were there we saw some sea lions playing in the water. After lunch we went to Customs House where the people that where on trading boats had to show the goods that they where going to trade. After Customs House we went to the Maritime Museum. In the Maritime Museum there was the top of an old lighthouse and different things that were used on ships.

Today we slept in until 9:30am. When we woke up we got dressed and went to catch a cable car. It was fun.

When we got into town we had breakfast and shopped till we dropped. I bought a book.Then we caught a taxi back to our hotel.For dinner we had San Franciscan styled pizza this shop had been open for 53 years.

Today we left early again from Mammoth Lakes to go to Yosemite Park. Yosemite Park is a national park which has Sequoia trees which is worlds largest trees and are very tall.

We went for a walk through the park and saw some squirrels. There was a tree called the grizzly giant and this is the largest trees in the park. Yosemite was a very beautiful park.

I brought a black bear which had a tag similar to the tags the rangers put on the bears in the park. The money goes into research for black bears.

P.S. I have two more coins to collect.

Today we got to sleep in, yeah! After we got up we walked along the Las Vegas Strip and shopped till we dropped. We also went into a couple of the Casinos to have a look.

The Venetian Casino was about Venice. It had a canal with gondolas, which you could ride on with gondoliers. One of the gondoliers was singing. Ceasers Casino was about Rome.We saw Roman guards with Cleopatra.

We also went to M&Ms World today. This is a 5 story shop packed with M&M stuff and M&Ms in loads of colours.

At night we went and saw a musical in the Venetian Casino, called The Phantom of the Opera. I thought it was really cool. I really liked it when the chandelier fell.

We are going to Las Vegas today. We went through a mountain tunnel which was about 2km long. This tunnel took us to the Zion National Park. At the Zion National Park I saw some deer and elk. The rocks at Zion are monoliths; which is a single piece of rock. Uluru in Australia is a monolith. We walked around the place called the Court of the Patriarchs at the bottom of the Zion National Park. Once we visited the park we then stopped off at buffalo farm, where we saw big buffalo. I got to pat a buffalo which we named Bob.

When we arrived in Las Vegas we had a night tour, all the casinos were lit up and had a theme. . The first thing we saw was a show outside a casino called Treasure Island. It was a pirate show called Sirens Treasure Island, during the show there was fireworks. The building I liked the most was Paris, because it had the Eiffel Tower that looked so real. It felt liked day time inside when it was night time outside, because the ceiling was painted blue with clouds. It had little buildings inside that were shops and made you feel like you were in Paris.

On the other side of Paris there was a large fountain that danced to music and shot water up really high.
