"yes but ...where is Los
Angeles?!?"

Strange But True: Another common-but-rarely-talked about tourist problem is the inability to actually locate the 2nd largest “city" in the U.S.A. The
confusion is mostly caused by the fact that once you get close to it you discover that it's really a lot of little places trying to pass themselves off as one big one.
These myriad burbs fade into each other indiscriminately, and you won't have the faintest idea which is which or what is where. Occasionally something
recognizable as a Real City may appear, but it will rarely be Los Angeles proper; what you're trying to see there is probably elsewhere anyway! This is not a
dilemma which maps can resolve, but the natives are often of service when questioned (though they are sometimes playful at the tourist's expense). If all else
fails, it is good to remember that the Pacific Ocean is almost always Southwest of you & going to the beach instead is likely your best bet. Good luck . ..

El Museo de Ciencias de Boston encanta a los jovencitos con una
invitación a vagar a gusto, a empujar botónes, y a tocar cualquiera
cosa. Este modelo muestra la composición de un átomo. Las
bandas rojas representan electrones que giran alrededor de pro-
tones y neutrones (lices azules y verdes). La demostración viene a
un climax con un destello que ciega y un estampido ensordecedor,
simulado una explosion nuclear.
