Graduates:
The Getty Villa Museum in Malibu re-opened in January after a nine year closing. Graduate Margaret Jose arranged a June 11 trip via Airbus!
We arrived at the Getty Villa at 1.30pm. The cafe serves Mediterranean fare until 4.30pm. We departed at 5pm, arriving back in S.B. at about 7.30pm.
