My last day in Los Angeles! It was sunny and beautiful. I tried to enjoy the nice weather because when I return to Washington, it will not be like that...at all! Since I didn't have to time to do it last week, I drove up to Griffith Park Observatory to take in the city panorama...and get a photo of the famous Hollywood sign! I then had a bite from the equally famous Pink's hot dog stand. Chili dogs with mustard and onions...oh, yeah!I had been planning to see two museums today, but it turns out I only had time for one. The Museum of Tolerance is part of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and it serves to educate and enlighten visitors of the intolerences and prejudices of the world, past and present. Even though the centerpiece of the museum of the Holocaust Exhibit, there are also many examples of why we must remain vigilant to be prevent history from repeating itself. Despite the dark themes, this museum should be a must see for everyone.
And, so, tomorrow I leave sunny southern California and slowly travel north on my way back home. I shouldn't exactly say slowly...I have a marathon drive to Sacramento. But, I'm going to make time to check out a couple of interesting sights...at least that's the plan. Then, there's my quest for salt water taffy. More on THAT tomorrow!
