The other day, my friend Lorin and I met at The Huntington Library in San Marino. It was a nice day, and they had an exhibition, “Revisiting The Regency” going on:
It was not a very large exhibit, but well worth seeing.

There is a lot to see and enjoy. Although I was a bit pressed for time, it turned out to be a nice afternoon outing.
