Paul E. Getty Museum trip in LA. The place has a wonderful collection and a nice garden. Everyone's gotta go there if they are visiting LA. The best thing: free admission! Just pay parking fees. That day there was a strange heatwave, we thought it would be cold like the last time I went in June 2 years ago but it was blazing hot. That day we also saw Britney Spears crash her car at the freeway... See this post here regarding that night.

A shot while snacking on a bagel & chips. We were hungry cuz we didn't have lunch that day. These didn't provide very much shade lol.

Spanish manuscript illumination: 'The Lamb Defeating the Ten Kings'. It is an imagery of the Apocalypse.

I felt this was the most striking painting and is my favourite. Almost photo realistic! It's huge too.
