Tar pits and Beverly Hills

Yesterday we went to the la Brea tar pits then Beverly hills. The tar pits are quite interesting as you can see sticky black tar seeping out of the ground as well as natural gas and tart bubbling out of the lake. There is a museum there that has pulled over 100 tons of ice age fossilized bones from the area but we didn't go in as it was getting late.

After the tar pits we went to rodeo drive for a bit of a sticky beak. Finally something as expected, exclusive designer shops and expensive cars parked on the street. The unexpected thing was when we went to the frozen yoghurt shop. You pay by the ounce which is funny, 2 large cups came to about $12 and I only had a $100 note, despite being in america and having a note that clearly states is legal tender in america and being in an expensive neighborhood the guy behind the counter refused to take it as they don't carry that much change. Luckily another customer had enough $20 notes and changed it for us. On the bus on the way home we able to pay the kindness forward and break a $20 note for a couple so they could pay their bus fare of
$3 instead of $20 as the buses don't give change at all.
