Thanks, Michael! - We are a couple from Spain. Today we took the tour of Griffith Park. We have to thank Michael for his patience, as our English is very poor, but he has done his best to make us understand his explanations. The walk is slightly harsh but is made more enjoyable with its explanations and sense of humor. We have finished very happy with the experience. ________________________________ We are a couple from Spain. Today we took the tour of Griffith Park.
