Late to bed on Sat night, so after a sleep-in we went for brunch to Gracias Madre, a vegan Mexican restaurant on Melrose in West Hollywood. Food was great, especially the roasted tofu dish.

Then we spent a few hours at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the adjacent La Brea Tar Pits.

We fly out tonight around 11pm and get home on Tues morning.

Lake Pit
The tar pits are places where oil bubbles up from below - a la Beverly Hillbillies. Over the last 50,000 years animals have become trapped in the ooze and fossilised. Five million fossils, apparently!
