Yesterday, I went to the Huntington, and walked around a bit. I figure I have a membership, so I might as well use it. It came in handy because there was this entire class trying to get through regular admission, so I all I have to do is go on the member side of the entrance pavilion and got right in quick. Membership has its privileges I guess. I basically just went for a long walk enjoy-
ing the sounds and sights of nature. I always tell myself I'm going to go inside the library or other galleries and look at art, but I never do. I think I get more out of observing nature anyway.
It was a really good day to go. This is what autumn should feel like. The sun was out and there was a nice breeze, so it wasn't too hot. Plus my calves weren't giving me searing pain. Usually when i got out on long walks, my legs hurt especially the calves. Maybe I'm getting in better shape.(or at least I like to convince myself that I am) I also drank this tea that was apricot flavored. It was really good. In fact I bought a tea canister from the bookstore that had a Chinese painting on it. I thought I was buying just the canister, but to my surprise there was actually Jasmine tea in it. It was good to just go out and unwind. I like gardens alot beacuse you can just go and be by yourself. The Huntington has alot of benches, so even though plenty of people go there everyday, you can still find a place and sit in silence.

Not to go all maternal and know-it-all on you, but...if you stretch your calves before you go on these long walks, you won't have the muscles knotting up and screaming in protest.
I also have a membership. My kids love it there, the greenhouse, the children's garden, the Chinese garden. We've never left before closing, they love it so much.
BTW, don't go there for the Chinese New Year celebration. Every rude Asian person in the SG Valley showed up and elbowed me.
