I just returned from an European vacation, but the beginning of my trip started in Los Angeles. A visit to the La Brea Tar Pits never fails to impress. This is an impressive Columbian Mammoth fossil dredged up from the tar pits which still exist in the middle of downtown L.A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Brea_Tar_Pits
Hope you vacation was Super.
