the getty

last saturday, i went on a little outing with some of my "mid-single" friends to the j. paul getty museum in l.a.
if you ever get a chance to go, DO IT! it was amazing! and the best part is, it's free! (except parking) it reminded me of some of the museums i was able to go to in france. maybe it's because a lot of the paintings and furniture were french... anyway, i need to go back and spend some more time there, since our time was limited. here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. (i wasn't allowed to use a flash indoors, so some of them are a little blurry.)

kathy jo and me, at the getty museum

a beautiful haze over the city and ocean (actually not too bad for l.a.)

the central garden
kathy jo and natalie, on the bridge

a view from the stairs


i'm not sure exactly what this was, but i thought it was cool.

monet, the bridge over the water lily pond

another monet, cathedral at rouen


these last two are at 3rd street promenade, where we had lunch and watched the street performers. quite the afternoon outing...
