Today was a relatively free day, where for the morning the girls headed out to get nails done, whilst Matt & I were left to our own devises - Always dangerous in LA!!!
So Matt & I headed off to "Rodeo Drive"; a 3-block ribbon of style for the Prada & Gucci brigade, then when our thirst got the better of us be descended on the "Beverly Wilshire" Hotel - as seen in "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts, for a beer & a Cuban Cigar (picked these little puppies up in Mexico, where they aren't banned).

We then met up with the girls for lunch @ "Spago", Wolfgang Puck's flagship emporium, which has long been tops for celebrity spotting & fancy eating (no stars today - just a lot of "suits" cementing deals) - Highlight, apart from the food was meeting the man himself - Wolfgang Puck - who came to our table to introduce himself & have a picture taken.

The final destination was "Chateau Marmont", where practically every celluloid luminary from Garbo to Paltrow has enjoyed breakfast/drinks in the lobby bar or trysted in a back bungalow (where "Blues Brothers" John Balushi did his final & fatal "speed-ball").
Whilst enjoying a cold beer we spotted our first "celebrity" - Fran Dressner (nanny Fine from the hit sitcom "The Nanny"). No photos were taken as this place has a "no photos policy to protect the guily...
After doing the "sunset strip" tour, we mey up with the girls again @ the "Bev. Wilshire" for more drinks & then headed to a great Mexican restaurant for dinner & then crashed that night from alcohol poisoning...
