We took a DayTripper excursion to Los Angeles starting with lunch at the Farmer’s Market with
numerous outdoor restaurants with cuisines from around the world and
interesting groups of small grocers selling fresh fruits and vegetables, meats,
poultry and fish, baked goods, ice cream etc.
The highlight of the day was a visit to L.A.’s Natural History
Museum to see a current exhibit
“Traveling the Silk Road: Ancient Pathway to the Modern World” that featured the spices and ancient
Asian instruments along with silk making, ancient scrolls and early astronomy
tools. The Silk Road was a network of trade routes established during the Han
Dynasty of China that stretched from Damascus to Xian
