San Francisco

 I can't believe it but this was our first time to San Francisco together.  We stayed in Priscilla's beautiful apartment building in Coe Valley which is only a few blocks away from Golden Gate Park and Haight Ashbury.  Everything was right there and yet the block was quiet and quaint and made you fall in love with San Francisco.

We're here!  Priscilla's guest apartment is beautiful, comfy and had everything you could need for a fabulous stay.

The Grateful Dead House is just around the corner from Priscilla's house.  So iconic!

Really good food at Zazie.

After a delicious breakfast we headed out to the DeYoung Museum.

This piece was made in honor of Princess Diana after she died representing the flowers that were left at the gate of the palace:

The art that really excited me was the recycled materials pieces.  This is tin and nails.

This piece was made from discarded clothes, crumpled and painted on:

The views are amazing from the top floor of the museum:

Next stop: The Legion of Honor:

I like to go there just to visit this Cezanne painting:

Like an old friend, we're hanging out :)

The backside of Rodin's "The Thinker"

Joan of Arc:

This was an extra treat in Priscilla's neighborhood - the most delicious ice cream parlor "The Ice Cream Bar."  

The next day we made our way to MOMA and lucked out because it was a free day in honor of Pride.

The Frank Bowling Exhibit was impressive.  Love this artist.

And was very happy to find a whole room full of Anselm Keifer's artwork.  This guy is off the charts talented.

Nailed it!  Then you see there is a body in there.  Wow!

To show you how large the Anselm Keifer's are.  This guy thinks big!

After the MOMA we headed to Fisherman's Wharf area for lunch.  It's touristy there but you can't deny the views.  Its worth it even for an hour.

Found a yummy restaurant for lunch, "McCormick's and Kulio's" in Ghiradelli Square - the fish was delish.

And the view wasn't bad either...

After lunch we made our way to the Palace of Fine Arts.

I love it when mankind gets in to gear and creates amazing beauty with their minds and hands.

Breakfast at Crepes on Cole.  And wow, look at that match between the awnings and V's jacket.

Hammer time!  Found the hardware store.

We did a lot more walking in the parks and streets but this is getting long so...there ya go.  Our SF trip.
