went! At my hotel, I met David and Emma from London. I asked them why
they were there. They said they were on holiday there with their parents
and they told me they were going to the Joshua Tree National Park that
day. I saw them later in the evening. They said they had really enjoyed
themselves and that the park was amazing. I wanted
to know if they planned to visit again. They said
they wanted to, as there were still so many things to
see like Yosemite National Park and San Francisco.
That’s the thing about California. It’s so diverse,
with mountains, deserts and famous places like
Venice Beach. Of course, its main attraction must
be Hollywood. Thousands of people go there every
year to visit the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles and
to experience their favourite films at Universal
Studios. At the hotel I met Jane and Sarah who
told me their visit to Universal Studios was one of
the best days of their life! They actually met Ryan
Gosling who was filming there! So if you want to go
to a great place with lots of different things to see
and do, visit The Golden State of California!
