Getty Villa Trip in Malibu, California Response

               The trip to the Getty Villa was an amazing trip!  At the tour, the first thing that I saw was a big marble carving of a lion attacking a horse.  It looked like the lion was representing something valiant, and the horse was representing something feelble.  Then we walked upstairs and went into a big room.  In the room, we saw a greek pot that had a picture of charriot racing, and on the other side, there was a picture of Athena in battle armor.  In the same room, was a statue of the Roman god of wine, baccus, but he is formally known as dionysus in greek.  Then we walked into another room and saw a faded, brinze statue of the athletic youth.

               In the same room, we saw a pure gold crown, that was used in the olympics.  The winner of the olimpics would be awarded this crown, plus 140 pots filled with 140 gallons of olive oil.  Then we walked into another room and saw a marble satue of Zeus, although, the Romans interprited him as Jupiter.  Then we went into the courtyard and had lunch.  Then we split off into our main driving groups.  First, we toutched a statue of Aphrodite, and then saw a 100 yard pool if water.  Then, we walked back into the building and saw a huge tapestry of alexander the great.  Finally, we went into a picture arena and pretented to fight.  Then we went back to the car and left. 

               On the car ride home, we saw the movie, Grownups, and we discused what our favorite part of the Getty was.  I said that my favorite part was the marble statue of Zeus.  My other favorite part was the part where we saw the giant koi.  I also liked the herb garden because there was this one herb called lamb ear that was as soft as a bucket full of cobwebs.
