the Getty's sky

My parents and I reached parking area of the Getty Center by car. First, we must take the tram to the Getty Center which is on a hilltop in the Santa Monica Mountains. When we were on the tram, the volunteers gave us today's tour timetables and some advice for visiting Getty Center. Wow! Everyday tour timetables were different! When we arrived at museum entrance hall, we attended the collection highlights tour right away. The narrator used a wireless microphone to transmit narration to earphones which everyone wore. Although my listening part for English is not good, I still finished the 1 hour tour. A lot of paintings, sculptures and works of art were on dispaly in the museum's five exhibition pavilions. The architectures of Getty Center are characterful and stately. If you visit there personally, you will realize what I say. We picnicked at garden terrace and enjoyed the sunshine of CA. [Note: There is a Chinese song named "Sunshine of California" by Chiang-Fang Chang.] After lunch, we made a visit to central garden and cactus garden and had a great time.
It is hard to believe that the whole tour of Getty Center is free. J. Paul Getty is a respectable man. Of course, we bought some drink and souvenirs to "sponsor" them.
