After what was an adventurous landing into Chicago, the Bulls have begun their trip back to Buffalo from LA. Yesterday, the team had a full day of sightseeing as the team began by heading to Venice Beach for lunch. After that, the team headed to Beverly Hills where they walked around Rodeo Dr. The Beverly Wilshire Hotel was in that area too. That hotel is most famous for it scenes in the movie, Pretty Woman. At night, the team headed to Chavez Ravine where they went to Dodger Stadium. The Dodger played the Houston Astros with the Astros winning 5-0. For most of the team, this was their first ever baseball game. That event ended a busy day for UB as it had to depart for the airport early this morning.
