Had a fun weekend. Went to Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier. Venice Beach seems like a time warp what with all the palm readers and weird "spiritual" stuff on offer. Guess there's a market for it all. Just a gorgeous day in the mid 70's and really enjoyed walking the beaches. The big game on the beaches if Paddle Tennis...a much smaller court than regular tennis and kind of a cross between raquet ball and ping pong but looked like a lot of fun and wouldn't be as hard as tennis.

Went to the J. Paul Getty Center Sunday and we were both just blown away....absolutely amazing and free for all. It was completed in 1997 from the Getty Trust and cost a billion to build...that's not counting the many art treasure s worth billions that it houses. In the foothills of Santa Monica with the most amazing views from everywhere in the buildings and gardens. You go up in a tram designed specifically to give you a sense of going to a different space...and what a space to view fabulous works of art.
