One of our more gregarious recent visitors tells a story of how eager she was to connect with other visitors while she was at the Getty Center. Since she especially likes to practice her French, it seemed too good to be true when a huge French tour group appeared in the galleries.
You’ll have to read for yourself how her story ends. Suffice it to say it involved singing the spiritual “Amazing Grace” in Korean. Naturellement.
As you may have seen from this blog, every day is different at the Getty. But it’s not only because of the changing seasons or exhibitions. It’s our amazing visitors who add that special sauce, too!

Dear Vicki Porter,
Thank you very much for your kind comment at Halfway To France on my post of 10/18/2008. I am happy that my post about our day at the Getty caught your eye and sparked your interest. I am also humbled to have had my blahg post singled out for recognition by you in your position as the Web Manager for The J. Paul Getty Trust.
Today I took the time to let anyone who might be reading my blahg know about the Getty blog–A Different Lens. My husband and I have been visiting both of the Getty museums for longer than I care to admit and will continue to do so for as long as we are still in Southern California. We always have a wonderful time in both of your stunning venues–together alone or with friends and family.
Amitiés,

Hi Mme Framéricaine,
Thanks so much for being so appreciative. We did get a kick out of your funny description of your recent visit. As much as we think we understand about what our visitors like to do, it’s great to hear of creative ways to enjoy the Getty! I hope you continue to ‘blahg’ and visit us!
Regards,
Vicki
