Getty Museum Away Mission
November 19, 2005, Los Angeles, CA

The crew of the Athena enjoys an intellectual outing to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, CA.  For many of us, it was our first visit to this world famous museum.  The museum sits upon a bluff with a spectacular view of the valley, as well as the Pacific Ocean.  Access is by tram from the parking structure at the base of the hill. 


 

The huge "patio" at the drop off point for the tram.  Juanita and I are the first to arrive!
