Extracts from my journal August 12th;
Day 2: Farmers market & free open air concert at Stern Grove
Day 3: Hayt Street, met up with Lucie from the Ranch and Kelsey & Davis and we went to a wicked Hookah bar and then all went back to Kelseys house and her hot tub.
Day 4: Hike up Mt. Tam in the day and then we all went to Acme, Kelsey and Davis' local bar where they treated us to the dance from Footloose - awesome!
Day 5: Chill back at Alastair's.
August 13th
I went to MOMA (museum of modern art) and thought I had pneumonia today! I happened to take a deep breathe ad heard and felt a gurgling sound! After that the museum was a bit of a blur, but I liked the Richard Avedon & Gorgia O'Keefe exhibits - I ended up walking 6 miles around San Fran after becoming impatient waiting for a street car...so ruled out any imminent health issues!!
August 14th
Today I walked 4 miles, had a Greek salad for lunch made with iceberg lettuce(!!) and visited the exploratorium, although in the end I only had a half hour there before it closed and I could have spent 2 hours at least, plus its more the kind of place where 2 people are better than one.
August 15th
I decided to ignore the cold I had come down with the night before and went to visit the Academy of Sciences and looked at the Aquarium which was really interesting (although I have now snorkeled in Fiji on a reel life coral reef so it's not quite so vivid...) Had a great time sitting in the Golden Gate Park afterwards listening to a live band and reading, bliss.
August 16th
I went to see Alcatraz on this day and it was quite amazing - so much history on the island. I listened to a really interesting talk on Al Capone, about what he was really like and how his voice was actually quite high! It was windy, cold, eerie and unfortunately crowded! I sat in an solitary confinement cell by myself which was quite something and heard the cell doors being opened and closed with large bangs!
August 17th
Last full day in San Fran, met up with Lucie, wrapped some presents and packed.
