There’s a lovely little museum in Santa Ana ~ The Bowers Museum. We’ve been there several times and have always enjoyed it. Yesterday we traveled there to see the exhibit “Gems of the Medici.” Lovely stuff but “NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED!” This has not been the rule with other exhibits we have visited but for some reason it is not allowed anymore. Ho hum. Charlie Canon had to stay in the bag and was not particularly happy about it! I did get a couple of nice shots outside but rather disappointing not to be able to capture the “Gems.” We also visited the “Tsar’s Cabinet,” an exhibit of dinnerware belonging to the Romanovs. Then there were was art of the Headhunters of the South Pacific and some very beautiful Chinese Art. And of course after that was dinner at The Olde Ship, a pub in Santa Ana. And all of this made for a lovely day except for the traffic. I have no idea where all of these people can be going but there are obviously too many people in California and they all own cars. It’s approximately 70 miles from Hemet to Santa Ana and the majority of those miles is freeway. We left Santa Ana at 4:15 pm and arrived home about 6:30 pm. Makes me just want to stay home!
