Third Street Promenade & Tar

It has been a busy day in L.A.! Started out with breakfast at Jinky's, then we took a stroll down the third street promenade where I sampled sweet limes (refreshing!) and "hot onion-garlic" pistachio nuts (bought a bag!). We checked out the Santa Monica pier, then we took a lovely drive down Sunset through too many famous neighborhoods to list.

We landed at the La Brea Tar Pits which were actually really interesting! They have pulled over a million fossilized remains out of the area, but only one human, a woman that they believe was murdered! That was weird, but so were all of the camel fossils...I mean camels?! Really?

We popped into the Grove to check out the shops/food. (Now when I read about celebrity sightings there in US Weekly I will be able to put it into context ;) Next stop- Mexican night at the Dodger game! Ole!

I am thrilled about the tar pits
You must be the only other person on Earth that was as interested as I was. Right there in the middle of Urbia
