15. USA

Why visiting the States again? Well, we had a stopover in Los Angeles anyway, so we decided to extend this stopover a little bit and to explore LA for a couple of days! What a nice coincidence that I just had two very nice couchsurfers at my place in Trier last year, so we were able to stay with them, and they really spoiled us! Thank you so much Corry and Stella!

LA
Los Angeles sure has to offer more than most people think. Of course, there is a lot of traffic, and the city center is not really worth going there, but there are also great beaches and the mountains around the corner. As our time was limited, we went to the main spots - Hollywood, Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier. Nice places even though Hollywood is a lot less spectacular than one would imagine...

Hands fit, same name... more than a coincidence?
Only celebrity we got to see in Hollywood...
Besides that, we had a great time at the Universal Studios and some nights out that we will definitely not forget too soon - thanks Jose and Jen!

Oh, and what a wonderful timing. We left on the night of the Super Bowl sunday, so we watched it in a typical sports bar on one of the 178 screens! "Go Cheeseheads!" ;)
