Our second day out and about in Los Angeles took us to Burbank for a two-hour tour of the Warner Brothers Studio. I found the art on the walls a little more interesting than ‘’the arch roofed sound stages all painted a uniform tan. But the bat cave lighting at the bat mobile display did make for some interesting effects.
From there we went to the Farmer’s Market and dispersed to find lunch of our choice. I opted for a shrimp and oyster Po’ boy which was delicious.
Next up the La Brea Tar pits which we were told translates to the the tar tar pits. In any case the museum displays of prehistoric animals caught in the tar were very interesting, including a wall of dire wolf skulls. The tar pits themselves were a little underwhelming as they did not fit my imagined picture of bubbling black ooze but rather a lake with some methane bubbles and a few fenced off spots with tar covered sticks and leaves but no current activity.
Back to the hotel for a rest and dinner followed by an interesting presentation on the early days at Capitol Records, the home of which we will be seeing today as we make our way to Hollywood via subway.
