Getty Villa

I finally made it to the Getty Villa! It's worth the drive to see this beautiful villa built to resemble the Via dei Papiri in Herculaneum, Italy. 

The grounds and garden are gorgeous and quite calming. And the current Pompeii exhibit is almost better than the real thing. 

Admission is free, but you must obtain a ticket in advance. 

Parking is $15.
