Saturday, November 6th Wonderful day with Neil & Margaret

We met Neil and Margaret about 11:00 at the Getty Center.  In 1983 J. Paul Getty Trust purchased about 750 acres in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Architect Richard Meier designed the building, but artist Robert Irwin designed and conceived the central gardens. The Center opened to the public in December 1997.

We toured the incredible art collection then went for lunch at the restaurant there.  Neil & Margaret kindly paid for our lunch, which we thank them very much. It was a good opportunity for the Stewart boys to catch up on the last 39 years.  After lunch we continued touring the gallery, stopped for a coffee break and then it was time to say goodbye.  It was a wonderful day with good company and good conversation.

It was much cooler today only in the 60’s and we are expecting rain this evening and tomorrow.  Tonight is actually the time change, somehow got mixed up the other day.
