There's not much to see in the downtown skyscrapers of Los Angeles, and there are especially many homeless people, with a pervasive bad smell. But there are so many upscale wealthy areas around it, where old money families engage in art collection, establish foundations, and generously purchase world artifacts to set up art centers or museums for free public admiration. Even if the family's glory is weathered by the storms, their generous acts benefit future generations. The Getty Center and Getty Villa Museum are breathtaking, proving the wealth of the American empire is no lie. 8.1-8.2 San Diego 1 night Driving 216 kilometers, 3 and a half hours Wyndham Garden San Diego Near Seaworld 3737 Sports Arena Boulevard La Jolla Cove USS Midway Museum Balboa Park Museums Old Town
