Inject A Bit Of Variety to Your Summer Travel
I’d like to make a suggestion for a summer vacation travel destination where you can find a great deal of variety in the type of local attractions offered. We are all different in exactly what we’d like to do during our summer travel. It may include hitting a bunch of theme parks like Knott’s Berry Farm, or relaxing in the mountains. Others love to see historical sites and still others love to play golf.
One of the first places one thinks of in terms of Southern California vacation destinations is the Resort devoted to Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney, where you will find some of the most interesting Orange County restaurants.
If you haven’t been to Anaheim in several years, you’ll be amazed at the changes. California Adventure exhibits the diversity of California culture, from citrus orchards to downtown Los Angeles to the northern California Wine Country. You will observe an international blend of cultures in the visitors at the parks and at Downtown Disney. In fact, people watching at Disneyland can be a fascinating activity, with a rich mix of cultures all in one place.
There are not a lot of other places in the world where you’ll find such a complex melting pot of nationalities as in Southern California. There is a particularly strong presence from Pacific Rim countries, but Europe, Asia and Africa are likewise well represented (not so many folks from Antarctica).
Along with visits to theme parks and the beach, it may be worthwhile to visit some of the permanent ethnic communities spread around Orange and Los Angeles counties in particular. These include Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Koreatown in Los Angeles County. Orange County is home to Little Saigon and Fourth Street in downtown Santa Ana.
