Monday, The Getty, & Yummy Food
Happy Monday, friends! This past weekend was full of an adventure to The Getty Villa and some delicious food (I love adventure and food, so it was a very successful weekend).
This is a view of the Outer Peristyle (formal gardens). It’s a very peaceful and serene place, with large outdoor hallways on the sides, a plethora of plant life, palm trees, and pretty hedges lining the walkways.
Aubrey and I very much enjoyed the sun and gardens. We also saw a demonstration on glass-making techniques. If you’re able to visit the Villa by January 16th, the current exhibit, Modern Antiquity, has pieces by Picasso, de Chirico, Leger, and Picabia. It’s a beautiful juxtaposition of 20th Century works and ancient objects.
After our wanderings we were both quite famished, so we went to the Veggie Grill. It’s a delicious vegetarian sandwich place. I had the Santa Fe Crispy Chickin’ and I had a hard time believing that it wasn’t real chicken (it’s a veggie protein blend). It was sooooooooooooooo good.
On Sunday night, I was taken on a surprise date to a very yummy Sushi restaurant, Sushi King. We sat at the bar and gazed at the crafty work of our rolls being prepared right in front of us. The freshest sushi I’ve ever had! I recommend the Toro, Tuna, and Spicy Tuna roll. We also had hot saki (holy strong-ness).
I’m sad it’s over already. Weekends progress far too quickly. I won’t complain too much because I’m still enjoying sunny California weather. I hope everyone has a lovely week!
