Following our hike I figured we'd get the touristy stuff out of the way, so I took Anne over to Hollywood Blvd.
Some people have a fear of clowns...
Anne has an intense irrational (although I guess it is actually slightly rational) fear of street people in costume.



In this following shot, Anne was making a scared face to express her discomfort at the whole touristy/costume-y atrociousness around us. She had no idea that the creepy pirate man was lurking behind her with a sword.
Moments after the photo was taken, Anne sensed his presence and turned her head slowly to find herself face-to-face with scary pirate face. She must have jumped ten feet in the air screaming bloody murder.
It was awesome.

We next stopped for coffee at The Coffee Bean where we saw Dirty Minnie Mouse lurking outside. (These people are mostly homelesses and wear their costumes all day every day... Kind of sad. Kind of dirty. Kind of terrifying.)

I kept poking Anne and telling her to go say hi. But she wanted to keep a safe distance.

Here Anne was posing for another picture, not knowing that we had caught Minnie's attention.

When she turned and saw that Minnie was starting to run towards us she screamed and we ran like silly little children.
I wish I had gotten a picture of dirty Minnie Mouse chasing us (squealing) down Hollywood Blvd...but alas...
