Ice Skating at Pershing Square - Downtown L.A.

Last Saturday, December 13, evening teacher Martin took 10 students to go ice skating Downtown at Pershing Square.

   

Every November the City of Los Angeles erects an ice rink at Pershing Square where people can ice skate for just $12.

Students from Brazil, Japan, Mongolia, Taiwan and Venezuela enjoyed the activity immensely.

Runyon Canyon Hike

On October 18th, 2014, Aluisio led a group of 12 LSI students from Downtown LA and their friends on a hike through Runyon Canyon Park.

We met at LSI around 2pm, took the red line metro at Wilshire/Vermont and got off at the Hollywood/Highland station. From there, we walked to Runyon Canyon Park (2001 N Fuller Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046).

The park is located in the far east end of the Santa Monica Mountains, just west of the Hollywood Sign and with amazing views of the Los Angeles landscape, the Hollywood Hills and Mulholland Drive. We hiked up and down both east and west hills on the Canyon.

I often go there on my own as the Park is at a walking distance from my place. It was the students’ (and their friends’) first time there. We all had a great time, and plan on going back. @LSILA

Discover L.A.

California is not only an amazing locale for weather. California, and especially the Los Angeles area, has a lot of beautiful places to enjoy your time.

If you like the city life, Los Angeles is one of the biggest and with more variety of shows and museums. It’s actually the second biggest city in the USA after New York, and the majority of the movie stars who usually work in Hollywood live here too. You can visit Universal Studios or a lot of places in the city, which surely you have seen in movies, advertisement or music video clips.

      

      Santa Monica, which is merely a 30 minute drive from Downtown L.A., is one of the most famous beaches in the world. The image of the Ferris wheel and the rollercoaster on the pier is very famous and it is really cool to enjoy with the attractions that we have always watched on TV. It is not too expensive and surprisingly it is not too crowded.

      

    Close to Santa Monica you have Venice Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, all of which are excellent places to spend your time walking on the beach or enjoying the relaxing life of their streets and restaurants. This is only LA, but California has thousands of amazing places to enjoy.
