The first thing funny is that when I bought cigarets, the guy asked me for my age ... And the other thing is that when you wanna cross the street on a red light you have to push a button ... or you wait like me 5 minutes until you see the guy on the other side making signals and screaming that you have to push the button :) As you can imagine, the street are very big so you don't cross everywhere (I mean for the first day ^^). It's also funny that people in Silver Lake & Echo Park (district) say "Hello" in the street ... They are very nice, smiling ... One guy even told me "nice top" ... But at first I thought that he was saying something strange and then I realize that it was nice !
I saw for the first time the Hollywood sign !!!! And the California flag !!! Youhouuu


After Silver lake, I decided to go to Echo Park which also have a lake but much smaller and more beautiful
:)

So I arrived at Coco's and I found my new bike ... He doesn't have a name yet but I already love it :) I also bought a locker... The guys from the shop were very nice and they give me a map of L.A. one thousand time better than mines. So I went to silver lake and bike around. As you can see on the picture below, people are rich there ... I didn't have token picture from the lake because it was surrounded by wire fence ...

I stopped by a coffee shop named Silver Lake coffee and I've taken a multi fruit smoothie ... Delicious !!!!! Fat cream, full of sugar !!! I took the smallest and it was fast half a litter tall !!!
:)
After Ecko Park I decided to take the Sunset Bvd and go to .... Hollywood !!! So let's ride again ... As people told me, distances in L.A. are huge !!! I didn't know but Sunset Bvd was part of the 66 Road.
So after half an hour of biking I finally arrive in Hollywood.
I saw I funny street (special dedicate to Leslie ^^).
Then I finally arrived on the famous "Walk of Fame".


I tought it was one street but it's a couple of streets with stars on the ground ... So I biked on stars :) But I wasn't on this kind of vibes, you know big sun glasses, small skirt, blabla. So I preferred to come back in Silver Lake & Echo Park. One the way back, I stopped by Casbash cafee to drink an ice Coffee.

I met two personn there. One girl named Allie. She's very nice and she's a music producer. And she's the friend of MIA's (who is doing an concert in L.A. the 17 July and I gonna have my free pass !!!) brother and Switch (one of the two guys from Major Lazer !!!!) And she's crazy about Björk !!! So we talked a lot ... Then an other guy, Greg, join us to the conversation. He is from Florida and he's a surfer ^^. So we talk all together for I don't know maybe 2 hours.
Then I came back at home to write all of this ... One the way back I saw a funny advertising :)
I wanted to go out tonight but I biked to much ... And
I've burned a little (my nose is red like a clown). Here is the itinerary of my first day (round trip)

This first day in L.A. was very nice, I hope that it will be better and better ... So tomorow, I will buy a pre-payed card to take contact with my "new friends" ^^
Have a good night/morning ...

Nice place! And me too, in Miami, there is a place with streets named like "Biarritz, Normandie..."!
