L.A. took over the beautiful Wattles Mansion and turned it into two parks and a trail; the two massive lawns are in front and back, and a long, somewhat aggressive trail in back joins up with Runyon Canyon at the peak. Wear shoes with sturdy waffle heels if you plan to hike. A 5 minute walk from the house.

Check out Silver Lake, and its reservoir, if you've got extra time to explore the older and, thus, hipper scenes in current L.A. Too many restaurants to list, but a great tourist attraction if you're in the mood to wander L.A.'s version of the "new" Brooklyn.

Eat, drink, shop, people watch, shop, eat, and then see a movie at The Grove. The Farmer's Market opened 85 years ago, which makes it prehistoric in LA-times. Go visit and you'll see every color, age, creed, rank and file of people you could ever imagine --a feast for every one of our senses.
