Katya came by at 11. First stop of the day was LA Louvre to see the
Frederick Hammersley and
Charles Garabedian shows. They were both excellent--work that I wasn't at all familiar with (though Katya, of course, was).

| Lunch |
It was cold, gray and drizzly when we made our way back home, where I'd promised Katya a proper lunch. Of course, there were masses of left-overs, but in addition to the pasta with eggplant and zucchini and black beans and rice and cucumber and radish salad, I cooked up a fresh round of
brussels sprouts and served it all with mango in lime juice. And, of course, a sliver of that long-lasting key-lime pie for dessert.
Good walkers that we are, we made our way back to Katya's, where she brewed up two cups of excellent coffee to go for our next art foray to LACMA. Oh--it was one packed art day. Our first stop was the members preview for
The Plumed Serpent a small but excellent exhibit of mostly pre-Columbian Mexican art, then on to Chris Burden's
Metropolis II, a scene of fabulous chaos--huge crowds taking advantage of a free museum day to marvel at miniature cars zooming through a wild urban landscape. Shifting gears, we were lured into the huge retrospective of the photography of
Robert Adams--it was all news to us--and breath-taking in yet another way.

| Wrapped Rock |
Before leaving, we managed to catch a glimpse of the huge wrapped rock awaiting its promised levitation and even got to listen to a band playing California Girls before heading home with a quick stop at Trader Joe's--yet another California contribution to the culture.
