We went to the Getty Villa to celebrate Aviva’s birthday.<\/p>\n

The Villa is located in Malibu across from the ocean on a hillside. The building is modeled after an Italian villa; one part is designed after Hadrian’s villa. The collection is centered on art of the ancient world.<\/p>\n

There are two gardens, call peristyles, one small and one larger. The larger one has a reflecting pool in the middle.<\/p>\n

I forgot my camera, so all the shots were taken with my Blackberry camera.<\/p>\n
