getting to the Getty Museum

A little secret about getting to the Getty...this is
how I got in the day it opened!  Also, if the parking
lot is full, you can still get there.

Take the 10 towards Santa Monica, park in the
residential neighborhood close to the Santa Monica
Airport...I believe National is the exit, but don't
quote me on that.

Then, take the Big Blue Bus #14.  It drops you off
right at the base of the Getty.  And it's maybe 50
cents to ride one way.

Double check the bus route and determine where to
park. The last time I did this, there were no parking
restrictions in this neighborhood, so you shouldn't
have to worry about getting a parking citation.

please give us a report on your garden visits!
