Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- The miners who survived 69 days in a Chilean mine toured Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard in two double-decker buses Thursday evening, receiving cheers and a hero's welcome from passersby in the the street.
The miners serenaded anyone who would listen.
"Chi-chi-chi!"
"Le-le-le!"
"We the miners of Chile!" they sang in unison.
Some people from the street and even a rooftop sang "Chile!" in return.
The 33 miners, along with relatives and five of their rescuers, landed in Los Angeles earlier in the day Thursday for their first group tour to the United States since being freed in October.
