San Francisco - North of the bridge, part II




San Francisco - North of the bridge, part I

We crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and went to Sausalito, Muir Woods and Stinson Beach. Going back we stopped to take pics of the bridge.

San Francisco - Golden Gate Park, part II





San Francisco - Golden Gate Park, part I

We went to the De Young museum, the Japanese Gardens and the Conservatory of Flowers. Great times! We loved the De Young, were upset the Natural History museum was not open yet, thought the Japanese Gardens of Fort Worth are better and enjoyed the warmth and the orchids of the Conservatory of Flowers.



The outside of the museum is covered in copper panels





The hills of San Francisco

The bay



The building has "cracks" in it to make it look like it was damaged by an earthquake



Our new coffee table!


San Francisco - Walking around

Lombard st, a crooked street.

The Ferry building, there's a great farmers market there. We had a great breakfast on saturday morning at one of those outside stands.

San Francisco - Palace of the Legion of Honor

The statue from this plaster is at the Nasher sculpture center in Dallas


Thinking hard

San Francisco - Chinatown

One of our favorite parts of the city! And we had the best potstickers and Shangai-style soup at U-lee's, at the corner of Hyde and Jackson (it's a little bit outside of Chinatown)

San Francisco - Telegraph Hill, part II

While going down towards Swan Oyster Depot where we had the best seafood, we saw the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill, unfortunately no pics of them.
