My brothers in California

Hello,

My two brothers came to the US to visit me! Guillaume came with his girlfriend Perrine before going to Peru. We went together to Santa Cruz a Sunday taking our bikes, then to LA for a week-end, coming back via Highway 1. We visited the Getty museum as well as the Getty villa! What a scenery! I had the impression to see live my whole undergrad class of Antique Art! It is incredible how many famous objects belong to this collection... I have been impressed once more by the ability of Americans for pedagogy: in both museums there is a "family room", a whole space dedicated for children, where they can discover some aspects of art. It is very well designed.
My other brother Olivier arrived too, a week later: the stays of my brothers overlapped for three days.
Then Olivier brought me to the airport for my trip back to Belgium. It was funny that this time I wasn't the one bringing family to the airport, but it was the other way around ;-) Olivier was staying longer in California for a conference in Santa Barbara.

Enjoy the pictures!
