It is in the suburb of San Marino, about 10-15 miles east of Griffith
Park, and listed in the phone book as Huntington Library.  In addition
to one of the few surviving copies of the original Gutenburg Bible, you
may also see the orginals of Gainsborough's _Pinkie_ and _Blue Boy_ at
their art museum.  The Botanical Gardens surround the Museum/Library
and are well-worth the visit - particularly if you are interested in
cacti and other succulents, as you are.  It has been several years
since I have been, but it used to be that there are no admission or
parking fees.  I hope that is still true.

>I'm particularly interested in cacti, so if anyone can give me any other
>helpful suggestions on good places to visit, that would help too.

I can offer a general suggestion for you to try.  See if you can
find a commercial succulent grower in the area.  You might be able
to stop by their farm and tour the growing areas.  My wife adores
succulents and toured a commercial grower here in the San Diego
area.  She loved it.

You might try calling some of the LA-area plant nursuries and see
if they know of a local succulent grower that would welcome vistors.

Good luck, and have a great trip!

Ah-hem... Uh, Greg, that is the San Joaquin Valley.  The San Fernando valley is
down south.  About the weather: California weather varies a great deal with
location.  On the coasts it is often foggy, and cool (60's).  Inland (around
San Jose) it gets warmer.  Bring some fairly warm clothes though in winter it
can get into the 30's at night.  Hopefully there will be rain so bring an
umbrella!

Maine Masterbrewers Abroad
--------------------------

    I've got to talk at length about some of my experiences with beer since
I've arived here in the great Europe in order to estblish a bit of a
comparison, shall we say, between the delicious malted, bubbly elixer here
in Germany and the so-called beer that is produced and marcketed in the
USA.  Once one has become accustomed to the weak, shitty tasting Anheiser
Bush or Coors products, he/she may eventually come to the sad state of
existance where the actual (bad) quality of the product is not screamingly
apparent.  This is a definite problem in America, but I was fortunate
enough to escape its clutches.  In fact, after tasting the homebrew
produced from the Penobscot Master Brewers I was enlightened as to the true
definition of beer, and have since learned the esoteric art of producing my
own deluctable beverage.
    By contrast, I need not seek such desparate means of obtaining real
beer here in Europe.  The past few weeks in France I was a little concerned
because everyone drank Kronenburg, and although it is good, it is certainly
not my favorite.  I contented myself with the wine, though, and was able to
keep from becoming overly resteless for my true craving.  The past few days
I have spent in Germany, and I must enphasize it has been a heaven of
selection and quality in the beer catagory.  Indeed, there are so many
terrific choises, I am often overcome by the sheer agony of decision.
Tomorrow I shall go to the Octoberfest, and perhaps I will find the need to
update the small entry, but for now I must sighn out.

Article taken from a state rag:

 As light beers gain in popularity in Australia,
a British brewer called Firkin plans to release the
world's strongest beer in time for Christmas. With an
alcohol content of more than 17 per cent, it'll be four
times the strength of normal beer and about as potent as
sherry. Health authorities are not amused. "Consumers may
well behave recklessly", they said. But Firkin, having
apparently considered this possibility, has ordered in
special nip glasses for the concoction, about one-third
the size of a pint. Pundits expect the beer to be called
Yule Brew, a fitting title in more ways than one.
