Orientation in Las Angeles (Hollywood)

 This week has been jam packed with learning and fun.  We visited Sana Monica beach one night after a long day of discussing racism. 

 The above picture is from the museum of modern art in Las Angeles.

 One of the days this week we learned a lot about looking at a neighborhood and learning many things about it from what one can simply see.  We also learned about gangs and the different types of graffiti.

 After a wonderful tour of some of the great places in Las Angeles we topped it off by eating at an all you can eat Korean Barbecue.

 This is the DOOR house that we have been staying at.  It is located in an awesome area of Hollywood, right by Paramount studios!

 Here is a picture of the iconic Hollywood sign taken from the observatory.

 This is the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood where we met with the director of DOOR and the Dwellers (a group that is doing a year of service in Hollywood) to learn about homelessness in Hollywood.

 After having a discussion on restorative justice we went to a restaurant in Chinatown where we were served all kinds of delicious food.

On Sunday we attended the above church.  They have an Indonesian service and an English service each Sunday and are working on making it one service. We listened to a wonderful sermon on fasting (translated from Indonesian to English).
