Drove back through Bell Air and on Wilshire Blvd. Past the La Brea Pits Museum where we will try to go tomorrow morning. I was really done in at this point and begged off for a nap, but Kerstin, Leonard, and Arthur took the Metro back into town to walk around. They found a wonderful 3-block-long ethnic market area that Arthur says reminds him of the Thai markets. They also got to the new Ghery-designed Disney Concert Hall and looked around the outside. Then out for dinner. We tried to go into an interesting looking Armenian-Russian restaurant, but when I went in one door it was apparent that there was a private wedding party going on. We tried another door, thinking it might be a separate dining room, but encountered only heavy-set Armenian? Russian? Waitresses who spoke no English but brought a mustachioed man who told us in a combination of extremely broken English and expressive arm and hand movements that they were closed. So we went to Palermo’s, another Italian place, not as good as the Dresden, though.
