Griffith park is located in scenic Santa Monica mountains in eastern LA, its also called as the Central Park of Los Angeles.There are number of stuffs to do in the park like playing golf,hiking,camping apart from site seeing places like the Los Angeles zoo, museum and Griffith observatory. Actually we went to the observatory the day before but seeing the crowd we turned back.So planed the visit museum and observatory the next day
The museum is called the museum of American West which has collections from the 19th century how the migration happened during that time and also during the famous gold rush of 1849.Then there were the artifacts of red Indian and a collection of Chinese artifacts who were surprisingly major percentage of the population during that time . There was a good collection of painting in that place. We would have spent around two hours in that place.
Then we went to Griffith observatory, we could have an excellent view of the Hollywood sign from that place.The observatory had lots of information about the sun planet and stars. There was also a planetarium in the observatory in which we saw a show which was really good.Being a cloudy day we couldn't see on much on the sky but the view of Los Angeles city from that place was mind blowing.Then we had dinner at Italian restaurant and came back home.
The next day Sukirtha drove me Disney Land where I got reunited with the 4S family.Thus the short trip to LA comes to an end in which Sheila have not visited any of the places I went except for the temple :)

Sri...glad u enjoyed your trip to museums in L.A. I love being outdoor and by now it should be obvious that I prefer walking on the beach or climbing a hill to being inside a museum which is why I haven't been to the places you visited :)
@ Sheila
"நடப்பது" எல்லாம் நன்மைக்கே!
(பீச்சிலே மாத்திரம் இல்லே..!)
true indeed! museum களில் நிறைய நடந்தாச்சு..
I'm now trying to equate நன்மைகள் from beach walking to museum walking :)
