2010, Day 70 - Grand Central Market

The last day in Los Angeles and it isn't even a full day, in truth I expect most of the day will be devoted to travel. But staying in a hotel in downtown LA meant that I was just a short walk from the Grand Central Market. I love markets, I think they are exceptional reflections of the people who shop there. Generally they aren't frequented by out-of-towners because there are usually nicer, fancier, and more well known establishments where they are more comfortable. So, with only a little bit of time before having to leave for the airport I grabbed my camera and set out.


Herbs, spices and medicines.

The grill seems to be another hot spot, they were cooking eggs, bacon and sausage when I passed.

When I returned from the market I had to finish getting my stuff together so we could catch our flight to Sacramento. This time I rearranged my camera gear so that I could access it more easily because when my flight arrived on Saturday the view out the window was beautiful.
