I'm staying at probably the most expensive yuppy hotel I've ever stayed, The Peninsula Hotel Beverly Hills. I feel really out of place here, the people here are actually really rich, not just make believe rich. I went up to the gym and Anthony Hopkins was there working his triceps. There are people here that have been staying here for 30 days at $5000 per night, plus they rent out normal $500 a night rooms like mine just to put all the clothes they buy in.
Anyway, this morning I decided to go run the hills, I ran up Wilsire made my way up to the most famous mansion in Beverly Hills, got lost running around all the mansions until I finally found Sunset Blvd, ran Sunset for a couple of miles just enjoying the perfect temps. I really wish I had a better idea of where I should be running, eventually I turned around and ran back to Rodeo Dr. (didn't see a single horse on Rodeo Dr.) ran down to SantaMonica Blvd and back to the hotel. I forgot my Garmin and didn't have any idea how far it was until I mapped it just now. It was guessing more like 8 miles but I guess all the hills just made it feel longer.
Great run, I wish I was here another day to go explore some more.
