Up and About Again!

Finally got to go outside and roam around LA tourist style!  The Getty was amazing.  I hadn't heard of Meier before that, so now I've been looking up more of his buildings and reading up on him.  Also, Klimt's drawings were so beautiful.  I'm so glad I got to see it.




Also got to see the promenade in Santa Monica.  Those dinosaur hedges with the metal heads freaked me out.  The lamp posts were gorgeous!!  I got yelled at by the security guards for jumping on one and whirling around on it like Natalie Portman in one of her movies though.  I guess the next time I do that I shouldn't do it right in front of the guards...



Celebrating my girlfriend getting an awesome job!!!  Yay shrimp scampi and finally trying out a new cafe!  Their food was delicious.


Gehry's concert hall was also wonderful to see!  I loved the silhouette it cut against the sky.  


Also got to see Hollywood Boulevard.  I LOVE Journey, so getting to see their star made me really, really happy.   All in all, it was a very happy successful event-filled day!

Cities and Such

This will be the city that the sub will explore.  I looked at Greek ruins and Agrabah from "Aladdin" although I think this came out to look a bit more like Russian architecture.
