Beverly Hills

It was already the last day already for Marlise.

She had to get her flight at 4PM.

Jan decided to go to Venice
and I went with Marlise to Beverly Hills.

To check out the shopping street
and have a lunch.

When we drove to it, we took a wrong turn
and we ended up in the residential area of Beverly hills.

I had seen some nice villas in my life,
but these are part of the better villa’s I’ve ever seen.

When I had a look at my phone,
we saw we had to drive in the opposite side.

Then we saw rodeo drive!

And immediately you see the luxury cars,
beautiful stores and nice restaurants.

We parked our car in a parking,
but I felt a little bit ashamed,
because we were driving through the desert the day before.

The car was looking extremely dirty.

The valley guy looked at us,
With a face like he didn’t saw a dirty car before in Beverly hills.

When he parked our car,
you could see my car between all the clean luxury cars.

We parked in the middle of rodeo drive,
so when we exited the parking,
we were immediately in the center of the shopping street.

It’s such a beautiful shopping street,
it looks so clean.

I even heard Marlise say,
that it was the most beautiful shopping street she ever saw.

All the A brands are located in Beverly Hills.
They all have beautiful stores, with doorkeepers.

Here are some pictures of the stores and luxury cars.

Because we had to be at LAX at 2PM,
we didn’t had much time for shopping.

Then we decided to have lunch at The Blvd.

A nice restaurant/hotel,
located at the end of Rodeo Drive,
with a terrace with a view over the shopping street.

A day with Richard Clark

Yesterday I went to Richard Clark’s home, a co-worker from DQNA.

He and his family took me to Benihana, a Japanese show cooking restaurant.

At first the cook was very calm and serious.
So I looked deep into his eyes and smiled.

But I think I gave him the wrong impression.

Everything looked so good on that cooking plate, but it tasted even better.

It’s unbelievable how big these supermarkets and shops are!!

After they showed me the Costco and Best Buy, we went back to their home.

Where I saw a box of tarot cards, so I asked her if she wanted to give me a reading
It was a very interesting reading, with a promising outcome.

Let’s hope it’s the same in real life.

These were my cards.
