My Trip

San Francisco has a ton of interesting museums, hills, and nautical views. Here are some of the fun sights:

SF MOMA (San Fran Museum of Modern Art)

• A Picasso
• A Diego Rivera
• A Salvador Dali
• 3 Ansel Adams photos
• 2 Frida Kahlo paintings
• A bunch of Calder mobiles

de Young Museum

• Tons of African, Aztec, & Incan art
• Funky glass art
• a HUGE picture of blurry circles that were supposedly to be vibrating atoms
• a James Terrell skyspace "pod" that you sit in and look at the sky. It was overcast, so not that thrilling. Did see a bird, though.

Hills

• Went down Lombard street. Slowly.
• Took a cable car in the pouring rain. Lots of bells dinging.
• If you know how to repair brakes, you would strike it rich in SF.

Ferry/Cruise Rides

• Our hotel was in Oakland, so we took the ferry over to SF a couple days. It was about a 45 minute trip for $4.50 (if you bought a ten-pack of tickets).
• The bay cruise takes you under the Golden Gate Bridge which was awesome.
• It also takes you around Alcatraz. Did you know Native Americans claimed it as their land for two years (after it had closed)?

Golden Gate Bridge/Golden Gate Park

• We didn't actually touch the bridge, but took some lovely pictures. Lots of pretty flowers in the park too.
• Did you know there are buffalo in Golden Gate Park? Oh, give me a home...

Well, that concludes our mini-tour of San Francisco. More details to leak out later, I'm sure. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for the events of "the last day" or "The Day Becca Felt Like Crap".

Movie of the Day: Saved. A satire on Fundamentalism. Hilarious!
