Toast Café
We woke up at like 5am LA time
since our bodies hadn’t adjusted yet so we had to wait to leave for breakfast
since nothing was open yet. We ended up taking a scenic walk to Toast and it
was amazing. Seriously, I probably could have eaten there every single
morning. The food was delicious, the service was great and the place was so
cute. A must go if you love breakfast foods or being happy.
Runyon Canyon
One of my favorite parts of the
trip was hiking Runyon Canyon. I like hiking and being outdoors anyways and
this trail was a little challenging. I did end up slipping and falling, but
only once, which is impressive for me. I also love a good view and boy did this
hike have some good views. It was stunning. Sadly it was a little overcast and
the Hollywood sign was a lot farther away than I thought so we couldn’t get any
good pictures of it.
Downtown Los Angeles
I did not like downtown at all, it
was just boring and dirty and there wasn’t really anything going on there. I
much prefer the other parts of LA we visited.
The Broad Museum: I really wanted to go to the
Broad, sadly the line was wrapped around the building when we got there and
before we left. It was insane, it’s a new museum and literally the only thing
that actually looked fun to do downtown so that’s probably why.
Grand Central Library: Absolutely gorgeous, a bright spot in the middle of a big city. It was beautiful inside and out and it was huge!
Grand Central Market: It reminded me of a
bigger, busier Krog Street Market. We grabbed lunch there at Olio Pizzeria and
it was delicious. Honestly we picked the shortest line, we were starving and
there were lines everywhere.
Mumford Brewing: I love breweries and so I was
super excited to try and LA one. I wasn’t super impressed, we walked the arts
district and the space was super cute. The people that worked there weren’t the
friendliest and the beer was just oaky.
Skid Row: Well after the brewery we went to grab
the closet bus back to our apartment and made the mistake of walking to skid
row. It is apparently the largest population of homeless people in a block and it’s not a place you want to be. We immediately turned around and walked to the
next closet bus stop.
The Wiltern STS9 Concert
We really wanted to go to a concert
while we were out there, but there wasn’t really anyone preforming that we
wanted to see. So we ended up getting tickets to STS9 since they’re from
Georgia and we’d heard the Wiltern was cool. The place was amazing, absolutely
beautiful inside. STS9 was great too; the light show that accompanied their
performance was just as impressive. We didn’t make it the entire show though
because we were so tired, the jet lag was real.
Don't miss tomorrow when we head to the coast and experience the rare sight of California rain!
