Phillipe's best kept secret is their lemonade, even if they serve it in those tiny glasses.

The dominant factor in our itenerary was time. I scooped him up at the bus station, then in a few blocks, parked across from Union Station. From there we could walk across to Olvera St., and dine in L.A.'s 300 year old section. From ther, it was a short walk back across the street to Union Station (a building I find to be beautiful) to take L.A.'s very modern subway to Hollywood and back with enough time to return Bucky to his bus before he turned in to a pumpkin, or what ever is the consequence of being late for your outbound grey-doggie.

There are many things that can be done in L.A., but to do them you have to be willing to sacrifice portions of your life's timeline to the traffic gods, we were willing, but time was short.
