LA II--Battling The Rainstorm

The next morning we were greeted with a familiar sight.  Good thing we don't come down for the weather, oh wait, we do.  A rainstorm of historic proportions had hit the town. It was as bad as last week's rainstorm in Seattle.
  Not realizing the magnitude of the situation, we set out in our rented Camaro (above) to the Griffith Observatory (bottom picture) where there was very little to observe.  We did have an enjoyable day at the planetarium.  The views got a little better, but the driving conditions did not improve.  After a hazardous drive, we were back safely at the hotel.  Our dinner engagement with some of our friends was cancelled and we had nice dinner at the hotel.
