Wednesday we got a late start to the morning. At least I got to see Gwendy head off before work in her casual lawyer attire – a stark contrast from her achromatic New York career wear I’d seen her in a year ago. “It’s California,” she said. Typical Californian response.
La Brea Tar Pits
We headed to La Brea Tar Pits, which has gathered animals and plants unfortunate enough to get too close for tens of thousands of years. Mammoths, mastadons, saber-tooth cats and the like. State of Kansas explanation: God placed animal and plant fossils inside pits of asphalt to test the faith of people who dug around in the pits and attended the museum.
This is a lake which filled an old, excavated tar pit. This exhibit demonstrates what it was like before the days of sleaze in Hollywood.
BUBBLES!!!! -- of natural gas.

Sculpture Garden
For lunch, we didn’t get anything from the long line of food trucks outside the museum, but instead went with In-N-Out in Hollywood. Sadly, no pictures of that. But we do have a few cool pictures of Hollywood.
