Getty Center @ 空白‧記憶

早就肖想很久卻一直無緣去的地方, 這天, 我們帶著興奮的心情出發, 問老爺想去美術館嗎, 他還很高興的想跟, 再飽食了一頓大餐後, 我們這群手無縛雞之力的團正式出發了, 還好傳說中的塞車公路還不至於塞的太離譜, 我們很順利的再關館前大約三個小時到, 離原本計畫早上十點出發的團, 似乎延誤的離譜。(實在是太多事情必須處理了)

Getty Center Los Angeles

下了傳說中的塞車公路, 還不大清楚左右方向, 那隨便挑左邊走咩, 想一想, 又覺得右邊好像才是正確的方向, 就這樣, 憑著個人的直覺帶著這群連地圖都沒帶的團到達了正確的地點, 娘很緊張的還替我捏了一把冷汗, 帶著老爺緩緩的步行搭電梯到搭乘電車的地方, 左右張望了一下, 剛好看到有人在退還輪椅, 當下就去拐了一個輪椅過來用。老爺很滿意的坐上去, 享受著豪華藝術之旅。(也有娃娃車外借喔)

有輪椅確實方便許多, 不必把老爺丟在一旁, 帶著他趴趴走, 雖然美術館的門很厚重, 又沒有那種按了就會芝麻開門的鈕, 只好勞煩娘來當開門的先鋒, 有的時候裡面的看守者也會幫忙開門, 但是好像快到假日了, 大家都很懶, 很多人都裝做沒看到, 真是的, 才剛進第一館, 就被看守者攔下來, 慎重交代不得將水瓶隨便露在外面, 也不得在館內飲用任何飲料。。看我露在外面背的相機, 又慎重的交代我不得開閃光燈照相, 結果第二句沒聽清楚, 胡亂應答, 所以導致一路上都沒有照相, 一直到後來才很後之後覺的開了相機照相。
