Family vacation begins with a trip to the Getty Museum, with its white square-draped architectural wonder and a set of small but impressive art exhibits. This includes impressionism -- with one of my favorite pieces of all time, Monet's "Sunrise", which I swear is done using no more than 11 brushstrokes -- and a temporary exhibit on Gustav Klimt, who does a range of great yet simple drawings, primarily of women in erotic positions, that are created using a small number of bold long lines.
I'm a big fan of technically-simple, yet immensely deep art.
Afterwards we headed over to Westwood near UCLA for dinner, where it seemed that literally every other storefront was vacant. Very, very strange, the Boston area is a bit of a bubble from the reality that the economy is still down in many other parts of the country.
