HOUSES OF THE STARS, USA
2/3/14
Hi Everyone. Our trip today is a little different. We are going to
check out some houses of the stars that either are or have been up for
sale. Not that I am shopping for any of these houses, but I love
looking at different styles of houses. I hope you enjoy this unusual
trip.
