 By the time we arrived to Hollywood Boulevard the sun had come out.  We began our tour at the Kodak center at Highland Avenue and Hollywood Blvd.

What You Are

“Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
Everything that you want..
You are already that." ~ Rumi

They are just beginning their honeymoon in America.  Marino met them at the airport.  I drove to Redondo Beach to meet them at their hotel. So happy they are finally here.
