Santa Monica - Malibu - The Getty Villa

Santa Monica - Malibu - The Getty Villa

I'm typing this as we prepare to leave our "home" in Santa Monica and take off for the day in the Rasta Bus - so this will be a very quick post.

A quick drive in the convertible up the PCH to the Getty Villa was yesterday's excitement.  Getty made his squillions investing in oil and built a replica Roman mansion to display his antiquities.  It is magnificent and deserved much more than the two and a half hours we were able to devote to it.
