There is a white city on a hill, a hill you can only get to by taking a train into the sky.
Sounds like the beginning of a puff-esque children's story, but in actuality it is just the Getty Center, which by far is one of the greatest places to see in LA on the cheap. Sure the cost of parking goes up and up, but if you bring friends it isn't so bad.
When you get to see the views of ocean, mountains, city it is worth it. When you get to see the Irises it is worth it. When you see something made by hand in 1100 a.d. it is worth it. The blueberry apple pie is worth it. Then you forget the $15 for a car full of your friends.
I highly recommend spending a couple hours devouring the 200 piece "engaged observers", by far my favorite photo exhibit I have seen and it is so much to digest that it will get its very own post.
This weekend the Getty continues with their Saturdays off the 405 with a free concert from Bomba Estereo
cost: $15 for parking, but after 5:PM it is Freeeeeeeeeeee! (coincidentally the concert starts after 5)
Also on the 761 line, (but this is consistently inconsistent)
