So I went to the Huntington Library today and I saw a Gutenberg bible. Magnificent. Also, I saw a double elephant folio of the Audobon Bird book, it was about 4 feet long with beautiful drawings.
In addition to the library, theres more than 100 acres of different types of gardens ranging from tropical, Australian, Japanese, roses, desert, et. Soo neat. It felt like I was actually in Japan..or a jungle because you would be surrounded by it. IE bamboo forests, mangroves, huge trees...
They had a corpse flower..thank god it wasnt bloomed. haha imagine people walking around near the flower without knowing it was there. "Was that you?..Come on walk behind me, I had my mouth open and everything"
So Becca took a walk on the cultured side today. Along next to people in fashion clothing I only before saw in catalogs, twirling parasols, arm in arm with a shiny shoed man.
