Had a great day on our “East Meets West’ tour! Started with a visit to the Homestead Museum in City of Industry, where the historic homes from the 1840s and 1920s show LA’s transformation from the Mexican Rancho era to the early American period—crazy how so much history is packed into one place. 👍 Then it was off to Benihana for a fun lunch—chefs slicing and dicing right at the table. Finally, we wrapped up the day at the incredible Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, one of the largest Buddhist temples in North America, with its stunning architecture and peaceful gardens. Today was a perfect blend of history, food, and zen—East truly meets West. 😎 ”
