When arriving in a foreign city, most would probably go straight to a hotel and rest. Who wouldn't? Spending more than 6 hours at the airport and 12 hours inside a plane could be tiring.
But I didn't. First stop? The J. P. Getty Museum at Los Angeles. Very impressive as soon as you see it but more so once you learn about what the creator had in mind when he designed the building, the lines, the colors. The works being displayed were beautiful but the greatest were those done by the Impressionists such as Renoir and Van Gogh.
The new house of a wonderful couple became our resting place for the second night. This is their adopted daughter ... Mei-li (or beautiful in chinese)
A typical American street... lined with uniform houses.
In San Diego, I found Jose Rizal... not to mention Jollibee, Chowking, Red Ribbon and Goldilocks... now where is SM?
Streets were lined with trees and sensor sensitive stopsigns...
And one night, the festival of the boats...
