The weather continues to be perfect. Highs in the Mid 80s and low humidity.
On my way I stopped by a two block local market. Plenty of produce, honey, and more for sale. The artichokes had to be the largest I have ever seen.
After scrambling to get to the first film of the day, it is sold out. Night Flight was produced in 1933 with John and Lionel Barrymore. Drew Barrymore was to introduce the film. So much for that plan.
I decided to visit China Town, it was a short rail ride, but noticing the train continued on to the Sierra Madre Mountains. I kept riding until reaching a quaint looking area at a stop called Mission. A small museum and downtown center offered a chance to stop for coffee and replan. The convenience of the train is greatly appreciated. It has only taken about 30 mins to significantly change my environment. But back to Chinatown.
What a disappointment. There were plenty of shops and a large market with plenty of tacky things for sale, but it was not as large as I had expected. It was still early in the day and might have gotten better. Back to Hollywood I went.
As a ghost hunter, I always seem to find time to wander cemeteries and Hollywood was not going to be an exception. The graves of Cecile B. Demille, Charlie Chaplin, Rudolf Valentino, and more were only a few blocks from the Vibe Hotel.
With the conveneience of the rail, I had started in Hollywood, visited the mountains , China Town, the Cemetery, and was back in Hollywood and it was only just after noon.
The lines for the film screenings had not been too long for the first few days, but Sunday had brought everyone out and again I was turned away. Apparently people had been in line for almost two hours. So, I started walking west to Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip.
