When I was in LA, I walked from the Metro Station to the Staples Center down Figueroa and decided to take some pics:

Old Beer Ads

I was walking in the Rockridge section of Oakland and passed by a place called Ben's 'N Nick's near the Rockridge BART station. I saw the most amazing old beer ads on the walls. I don't really drink but I love looking at the old ads because of the artwork and slogans:

California ScienCenter

I was down in Los Angeles and I got to see a bunch of things. One of the coolest was the California ScienCenter and the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. It was something that blew me away:

Project Mercury training suit

Orion Sounding Rocket

Gemini 11 space capsule

Ken Mattingly's Apollo 16 Spacesuit

Project Mercury-Redstone 2 capsule

Project Apollo-Soyuz Module

But the big attraction was the Space Shuttle Endeavour:

For two bucks, the California ScienCenter is the best deal ever.
