Walking tour of downtown L.A. on a fine Saturday. Union Station to L.A. Live and back with all sorts of stuff in between. About 8 or so miles.
Trail is in great shape! Beer available.
Pics.
Cool mural (at least 5 stories tall, can't remember specifics)...
Calculus...

Jim-san,
Those are called Omikuji, a kind of fortune cookie thingy without a cookie.
After you draw one, hang it on the rack (sometimes tree branches, fences, etc.).

Thanks for the explanation Yamaya. I didn't know what they were either. The rack is in front of the Koyasan Buddhist Temple in Little Tokyo.

LOL. Ice axe to fend off the panhandlers.
Lots of things to climb if it wasn't frowned upon.
