Hello everyone!

Today we started off with breakfast at the hotel and decided to try some sightseeing on foot afterwards. Using google maps we found out Union Station was about 15 minutes away. Along the way we found the large Post office of Los Angeles and not even 5 minutes later we arrived at Union Station.

Here we felt straight back in a theme park just like last night's Farmer's Market. This time however it had more of a Six Flags feel, like the opening hall at Six Flags Holland. The station itself was unlike something I had ever seen. The opening hall was a large waiting area with comfortable chairs for everyone and to the right there was a door that led to garden area's with lots of sitting opportunities aswell. We made quite some photo's and then went back out to check out Olvera Street and the place where Los Angeles started out.

Olvera Street was right across Union Station so it did not take us long to reach it. We went around it at first and ended up at the oldest Firestation of Los Angeles where a guide recommended us to walk across the plaza onto Olvera Street and enter the Avila Adobe, Los Angeles' oldest house.

The house used to be a lot bigger but it gave us a good impression of what living in the 1840's was like. At the end of the house there was a 15 minute movie about the founding of Los Angeles. We grabbed some traditional mexican bites after the movie and explored some more before we went back towards the Hotel.

Santa Monica's up next!
