                <description><![CDATA[I did a food tour of East Los Angeles that is hosted by a group called Melting Pot Tours - it's their Latin Spice Tour. My guess is very few tourists go anywhere near this part of town so if you're looking for something different, and off the beaten path, check out this LA tour. The food was great, the guide was a hoot and I got to see a cultural side of Los Angeles (East, Latino, authentic) that most of us usually only get to drive by. It was wonderful, just loved it.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[No trip to LA would be complete without a 25 cent ride on this 1901 funicular, "the world's shortest railway". Just reopened, it is right across the street from the Grand Central Market, an indoor market that offers inexpensive ethnic food and produce and meats.  Walk through to Broadway LA's great Mexican shopping Street.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It's virtually impossible to get onto the beach at Malibu if you don't own a slice of it, but Bob Morris' Beach Cafe is right on the beach at Paradise Cove. The food is also great - lots of surf and turf type dishes - and you can hang out on the beach before and after dining. To get to the beach, you have to drive through what is probably the world's most expensive trailer park.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Found this online today: for $199 (adult) the City Pass gives you entrance to five (5) amusement parks: Disneyland, Disney's California Adventure, SeaWorld in San Diego, Universal Studios Hollywood and San Diego Zoo or San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. You have 14 days to use it. Saves a bundle if these parks are your funky thang.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A great place to see the cool and relaxed side of the busy city. It’s best at weekends, if you have never seen a mum pushing her child in a buggy while rollerblading, this is the place to go. Street markets and entertainers abound and the whole atmosphere is friendly.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Take them to La Brea Tar Pits; the biggest source of ice-age specimens in the world is located in the middle of the most developed part of Los Angeles, the Wilshire corridor. In Hancock Park, tar pits bubble away as fake mammoths bobble up and down on the surface. Inside the charming George C Page museum children and adults can watch sabre tooth tigers fighting with sloths, see paleontologists at work and discover for themselves just how sticky tar can be.]]></description>
