Los Angeles, California

In Los Angeles we, of course, went to the infamous Santa Monica Pier. I had no real expectations of what it would be.

Lots of people, people fishing and a resturant at the end of the pier. It was the June gloom when we were there - kind of foggy-like, overcast day.



There is an amusement park on the pier for all the kids to enjoy. They did look like they were having fun from what we could see.




The pier represents the end of Route 66 and as you can see the bait-tackle shop signs indicate this.

There are lot of performers on the pier also. We saw some break dancers and then there was this guy. He was as limber as a spaghetti noodle and was lots of fun to watch.



The pics below show some of the exhibits from the La Brea Tar Pits. This was at the Page Museum. You can also watch the artifacts being worked on in the lab through a huge glass area.






Outside of the museum you can see one of the actual tar pits where some of the artifacts/bones etc were found. They have several pits on the premises outside the museum that were being worked on at the time we were there.




See ya down the road !
