- The La Brea Tar Pits. It was the first "attraction" I went to after
- moving here. I had read about them as a child, and always wanted to
- see a sabre-toothed tiger fossil. They exceeded every expectation I
- had. I didn't know some of the pits had water in them, with
- gas bubbles coming up to the surface! Tar seeping up through the
- ground in the surrounding parkland! Bubbling tar, big
- plaster enclosed blocks excavated from pits laying in the museum,
- waiting to be dissected. All right in the middle of a sprawling metropolis.
