We’re going to Malibu this weekend.
That sounds so cool, huh?
It conjures mental pictures of cruising Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible, parade-waving at movie stars and checking the surf.
The truth?
I am an Uber-Geek.
We are taking the family in the minivan to visit The Getty Villa in Malibu. That’s right. Approximately 44,000 Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities, not to mention the architecture and gardens.
Be still my heart.
Then we’re heading over to the Getty Center in L.A. to see the exhibit of Medieval illuminated manuscripts and Byzantine icons.
Then we’ll visit the Monets and Van Goghs. And I’ll get all emotional.
Then we’ll stop here for dinner. =D
For a Cuban-American Uber-Geek, it just doesn’t get any better than this.
Happy first weekend of 2007!
If you’re a Geek, I’m a Geek….. I love ALL that Getty stuff, especially the “old” Getty which is constructed like a Pompeiian (or actually Herculaneum) villa–I think the Villa of the Papyrii, if I remember correctly. Okay, so that is really geeky to know that! I had to wait to find out about your blog from a third party, none other than Miss Ollieballen herself! Miss you terribly! Sorry we didn’t get to see you when we were in SoCal…. 🙁
Wow Marta! How exciting! Deseandote a ti y a los tuyos un prospero y saludable 2007!I visited the Getty villa many years ago (1980)… It was really worth it! I also love the Impressionists!!! Enjoy them … true artists, indeed! … sadly, there’s no place like your “stop” for dinner (“que rico”), here in Charleston, SC 🙁 …
I really enjoy reading your blog!
I wish you well 🙂 Melek
