Saturday morning Juanita left with Dale to spend the day together, and Angharad and I stayed with our hostess, who was taking us to the Getty Center for the day. The museum was very interesting; we all grabbed an event and exhibit guide, arranged to meet for lunch later, and then explored on our own. I took the architectural tour which was very interesting.

Another reminder of Paris - love these trees!

If you like art and architecture and landscaping and you have time, I would recommend spending a day at the Getty Center; admission is free (excepting food, drinks, and the gift shop) with the cost of parking, which is $15 for a day.


After exhausting ourselves with culture we headed back to the house, where we made Nanaimo bars for a potluck supper and sing later that evening.

All in all, it was another lovely day, spent learning new things (i.e. how to crack a macadamia nut - with a butter knife!!) and meeting new people.
