Month: April 2024

Frankly with the days dying down and I can clearly see one of my cousins thinking I been here too long. We went to the California Science Center. https://californiasciencecenter.org/

They do have a couple of advantages It’s free and it’s almost as good as the Air and Space Museum. Although in a bit of expansion, this will include a Space Shuttle and A SR-71 Blackbird.

But I think the most unexpected this was the Da Vinci exhibit

Filled with modern recreations of his inventions and let me tell you they were amazing.

Speaking of amazing In-N-Out burger

I literally given them 5 Stars food was excellent

Yesterday was amazing we went to the Getty Villa https://www.getty.edu/visit/villa/

Yes it is amazing as it looks, there are literally treasures around every corner. I bore you with what I saw, that is what the link is for.

The food in their Cafe was terrific, a bit expensive but terrific. For example I got a salad and soda it was $32. See what I mean.

As for today with essentially a day and a half to go. I am suppose to do some errands with one of my cousins then a trip off to what is suppose to be the best science museum in the state.

The truth is my time here is winding down, I leave late Wednesday for yet another 2 day train trip.

The biggest difference between yesterday and today, I am on my laptop posting this… with 3 days left.

Ripley’s Odditorium was beyond fantastic and it started with this

The best minotaur I ever seen. While the museum itself was pure fun. Literally too may things to name https://www.ripleys.com/attractions/ripleys-believe-it-or-not-hollywood Hope to come back and see it.

In addition did you know the Chinese Theater was around there and so is where Jimmy Kimmel does his show. Although I do have photos I am unable to post them atm. Not my home and things are a bit confusing. Typical when where traveling.

The one thing I can mention is the Chinese Theater is quite a bit smaller. Than it looks in the old videos. They also have guards protecting the footprints. They where showing an old movie. Casablanca I think. TCM also had it’s own theater. It’s quite an are with tons of venders, drag queens people trying to get tourists to buy their $10 CD, as well as costume characters and tour operators. The sidewalks for the most part crowded. I think one of the biggest surprises that they are still sell maps to the home of celebrates.

BTW Mel’s Dinner who I would even describe as a touristy place. Really did have great food. I had a meat loaf sandwich that was fantastic.

We are off to the Getty Villa today
