Having a great time visiting our son Sam in LA. We arrived yesterday and have been going full bore ever since.
Yesterday we had a great Thai lunch we walked to from our AirBnB. Sam came and picked us up and we all went to a fantastic Peruvian restaurant called Pablito's in Burbank. Sam then drove us around for awhile. Sooz picked out our AirBnB which is close to where Sam lives which works out well.
Today Sam picked us up around 9:30am and off we went. First stop this morning was Grand Central Market. It is a very nice and big market of food, restaurants, and shops all in a big open building. From the outside you could drive right by and not know it is a market. But once you walk in it opens up into a wild mix of local food businesses.
Sam then drove us to the oldest street and building in LA. The street is Olivera Street where there is a very nice open market area of Mexican clothing a products. It is a part of LA that surprised us with its history, tree cover and a local feel, not what we were expecting.
Next up was the Original Market Place and The Grove in a very upscale area of Beverly Hills
. We had more excellent food and walked around a 3-story massive Nike store. Sooz found a really nice food store and picked up a few things for the home kitchen.
We then went to the Milk Bar bakery based on Christina Tosi. Very tasty ice cream, cookies and cake had to be sampled.
That wrapped up the day. We got back to our place and crashed.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, 60s and sunny. Yesterday it snowed all around the mountains and hills which was very unusual and was all over the news. The Oscars are Sunday and we found some closed roads including Hollywood Boulevard due to the big event in just 2 days.
