Walking in Los Angeles
Considering we only arrived in California less than 2.5 days ago, it feels like a lot has happened on our holiday so far. Yesterday the only walking we did was from Hollywood/Western to central 'Hollywood & High'. We walked out there along a slightly less busy
road to the north of Hollywood Boulevard - at least as far as 'Vine'. Whislt the friend I'm with caught the bus back I walked along the main strip - following the avenue of stars until they finished about halfway between 'Vine' & 'Western'.

Also, some of the new pets are biodegradable. I do not know much about them yet.But I sincerely doubt the FDA would allow a toxic substance to a container of food.

Check the bottom of the bottle to find out. The recycling code will tell you.
