    Loved the opportunity to see an art structure I've always wanted to visit in person. The detail is terrific. There was not much else to do in the area however. Although the neighborhood looks questionable, don't fear, they are used to tourist and friendly. Be sure to check on times to access the tour - I missed the time and settled for taking pictures from outside the iron fences.

    I was itching to see Rodia's art, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The art speaks for itself, let alone having the addition of informative guides and entry to the Arts Centre to see the doco made on Simon, view more art and have the opportunity to discuss the whole experience with like-minded people. This is a must-see on any trip to L.A. It's just amazing. Thanks. Oh, and there's a gorgeous gum tree just outside the Art Centre!

    After a few super long days sightseeing and graduating and sightseeing again, it was finally time to take it easy - the California way. I was super excited to wake up to see the sun, which meant that the marine layer that usually covers the coastline in May and June, had either burnt off or hadn't even made an appearance. The sunny weather was an …
