One last hurrah downtown...

So friends treated us to a delicious meal in Chinatown followed by a short walking tour downtown. We went to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which I hadn't actually seen at night.




We then went onto the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, where they perform opera etc. There was a great fountain outside, with a hideous statue in the middle of it:



We then walked down through the new 'Grand Park' which links the music center to City Hall via steps, ramps, shrubberies and a rather wonderful fountain that changes colour...







It was fab! I wanted there to be music like at The Bellagio. The new park is pretty cool as well. Shame they don't have a coffee shop or similar open there after 7pm at night. 

We then went back down the hill past the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) where there seemed to be what looked like a Transformer outside...I believe the polite way of describing it is "Not my cup of tea!"


Then onwards for a G and T at the Omni hotel next to an outdoor firepit. What a lovely evening!
