I’m back in DC now, but I need to write up an entry about the rest of my California trip.Thursday Julie had to work, so I decided to rent a car and be a daredevil. I drove up to the San Qu..something Wilderness area that is North East of LA. It was incredible. The mountains were huge and the wind was high. I got out of the car and got a pebble blasting like no other. I kept driving into the wilderness and finally found what I was looking for, the solar observation area. Unfortunately that was pretty much closed on weekdays. It was really creepy. I kept expecting a scary mountain man or a bear to surprise me.
Friday, Julie worked again, so I took the car up to the Getty Center which is this crazy cool museum just at the beginning of the mountains that cradle LA. You park at the bottom of the hill/mountain in my opinion, and you can either walk up or ride the tram. There were probably over 10,000 people that day. But the place is huge and can acomodate.
Once you get up you’re like in this heavenly world where everything is framed by marble, mountains and foutains. I really think its worth the trip if you’re in LA. If you live there and haven’t done it yet, *clears throat*, get on it right away, you will not regret. Oh, and did I mention its this huge art museum as well. I didn’t get to see as much of the art as I would have liked, time constraints. But yeah, it was very peaceful and really made LA look beautiful from above.
After that I tried to get a little more sun in at Santa Monica pier where they were absoutely not selling funnel cakes, Boooooo! Julie works in Santa Monica so I went over there to meet her co-workers and hang out until the place closed. We spent the rest of the lovely evening at home talking and scheming up ideas for the future.
Saturday morning I had to leave, sniff sniff. It felt too short even though it was 7 glorious days. Until next time. I’ll leave you with a song:
California…know’s how to party…California…knows how to partay… In the citaaay, the city of Compton, We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!
