I recently spent a day in San Francisco in an attempt to (a) hang out with my friends up there [check] and (b) learn that S.F. is not as bad as I previously suspected [check].
What I saw:
random items

Easter Island meets 20th Avenue (left) and a chesspiece-looking seat in a pagoda in Golden Gate Park (right)

sunglasses-wearing martial arts-men (artists?) somewhere along the south side of Irving Street

unfinished mural (on a street perpendicular to Irving Street)
a lot of birds and a few ducks

Golden Gate Park

pagoda in the park



English garden in the park

a garden in a park—is that nature doubled or squared?
sundial – sun (+ hands)
outside the California Academy of Sciences


(crazy trees)

inside the California Academy of Sciences

rays swimming in the artificial lagoon

fishes in one of the many aquariums

stuffed gophers

skulls

some of the stuff was a lot like the L.A. Natural History Museum, except this one only had an “Africa room,” no other continents
