I am at the moment watching this online (Virtual Tour), this is such an amazing City of Angeles... The hosts are truly giving extensive 411 about each tour.
Thank you for allowing us to see this online, I am not able to be outside much (due to heat exposure)... I hope to be able to continue watching online.
