Here's a picture of me in my backyard. Well, that's not exactly true. It's actually the Getty Villa in Malibu, California a little gem of a museum housing one of the worlds great collections of antiquities. It was built by John Paul Getty (who never set foot in the place) and it was modeled after a first century Roman country house. The house and the gardens are a sensory delight. Parking is $15, but admission is free. So, if you're ever in Southern California pile all your friends and relatives into a car and head on over. It's a real treat and I highly recommend it.

Included in Getty's collection are some wonderful examples of ancient silver some of which I've posted below.

When you have overloaded on art, the cafe is very good; excellent food and a nice selection of wines.
