Mar 23

Today was officially the first day where driving was a headache, and I blame it all on Los Angeles.

I’ve never actually been in Los Angeles for more than a flight in or out of town, but today was a day for picking up a couple friends for our desert reunion/birthday party, and we decided to visit The Getty before heading out of the city.

Because driving was a headache (literally and figuratively… don’t know how people manage this kind of driving on a daily basis), today’s blog post is going to be pictures+haiku.

Getty time well spent

So many flowers

Flowers and architecture

Just… all the flowers
