Last Week of L.A.

Alright, so I'm outta L.A. right now, I just spent a week in Tempe, AZ, and  a week in East Lansing, MI.  I will write about those next.  My time in L.A. is finished, but I had to write about one of the places I went during my last week, because it is definitely worth mentioning.

The Huntington Library, Arts Collection and Botanical Gardens, in San Marino, CA. Amazing!

My friend in San Francisco told me that I could not miss this place and he wasn't lying.  This place has tons of art works, rare books, and more gardens than you could ever dream of.  Some of the gardens include - A Chinese Garden, a Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, Desert Garden, Lily Pond Garden.  There is an estate that houses Art pieces as well as several other Galleries on the property.  The House itself is gorgeous, and worth a tour by itself.  The library is for scholars, but they have an excellent exhibit that takes a look at many first edition books like The Canterbury Tales and Paradise Lost. 

It was such a cool experience, and I am so happy I went!
