Huntington Gardens and Library

We went to Huntington Gardens and library yesterday.

They have some amazing books! From Medieval (First ed. Chaucer), to Romantic, to Early American (First Ed. Waldon, Congressional Notes, ...).

I was amazed by how ornate these early writtings are. It really seems like a lost art.

It was interesting to me to see this 1840's drawing of the US Army in Monterrey MX - as I was just there! A pastor and friend took me up on a hill were we looked down, and he explained how the American army passed right through - this is the picture!



There is a new area that opened this year in the Gardens. It is a Chinese Gardens which was all made in China! All the tile... architecture, sculpture... and this beautiful wood carving.
