) at any rate I was extremely tired and wore out by the
time I arrived back home here in Northwest Arkansas. |

From there I was compelled to do Rodeo Drive. One of my business partners suggested that I
go, and I had already planned on going even before I left Arkansas (it was on my things to
do, places to see, people to meet lists). Like I said earlier, I went shopping on Rodeo
and stopped by a cool pastry/coffee shop for lunch. I had a bottle of water and ONE
cookie, and those two items just about broke the bank, FIVE BUCKS (exaggerated a bit).
Then by chance I got the opportunity to experience the world famous Beverly Hills
community. What; Beverly Hills? Yeah, The Beverly Hills. And let me tell you it is as much
or more than all it is portrayed to be. Most of the mansions were enclosed by layers, and
layers, and layers of fifteen |

to twenty foot greenery (shrubs). I could not help but to chuckle and
think that most of these famous people living in these houses spent their entire lives
trying to become famous, and then end up building three layers of fencing to keep the

Beverly Hills was located at the end of Rodeo Drive, so it was easy enough to find. I
decided to park the car and walk around the neighborhood to see what was going on and to
really check things out. That was a great experience. I ran into another very nice lady
who said that she worked for another very famous woman (who she did not name). We stood on
a Beverly Hills street and talked for about three hours about the business, the
lifestyle, some of the secrets of the rich and famous, and a few things to look out
for when engaging people. Turns out some of the people who I was meeting and
talking to were probably paparazzi and/or reporters. They do not all run |
| around chasing after you down the street with cameras and microphones as
portrayed in the news and entertainment media. But at any rate her advice and inside
knowledge really shed some interesting |

| light and set me in the right direction for a great pain free LA
experience.
Rounding out my famous places visits while in LA were: a mega mall named The Grove, which
was connected to a mega Farmers Market, and I thought that we only had those here in
Northwest Arkansas (Farmers Markets); NBC Universal Studios which was off the charts... |
