We woke up the next morning late (for us, and for our time zone). It was easily 8:00 AM before we got down to breakfast.
The hotel looks like this from the beach:
The breakfast room is off to the right.
We had a busy day Sunday, and we got started right away.
The La Brea Tar Pits was our first stop. I have been reading about this since I was a kid. It was sort of odd to see in person:
There really is tar (asphalt, really, though my ChemE family members would have to say what the difference is) oozing out of the ground. Yipes!
They had a life size Giant Sloth. Doreen took my picture with the sloth. I am the one on the left:
The Tar Pits are right next to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
You might recall a year or so ago this big rock made news, as it was moved from Riverside to the museum:
It is called "Levitated Mass" and the artist is Michael Heizer
It was something to see.
