Some of My Pics from San Francisco!

Here are just a "touch" of the 700+ pics that I took in San Francisco last month. It was wonderful. I had a marvelous time and didn't want to come back to the reality that faced me at home. I got to do lots of stuff and see many cool things. The last night Eric and I were there was really cold, but that was due to the fog that came in. We had some really good clam chowder in a bread bowl down at the Fisherman's Wharf...yum yum! I love it now! When we went to Chinatown, we had some amazing Chinese cuisine with hot green tea on the side. Superb! While I was there I visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and had a splendid time. I got to view work by the following artists: Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Henry Matisse, Richard Avedon, Ansel Adams, Robert Frank, Pablo Picasso and so on. The trolly rides were quite an adventure. I think I got butterflies everytime I heard the little bells ring. Silly me! I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures and this is just a few of them.
Looking at our hotel, The Westin St. Francis, from Union Square.

Inside Grace Cathedral...can you see the flying buttresses? Haha!

The Seven Sisters on Alamo Square. This is where they filmed the opening shots of Full House!

Palace of Fine Arts was breath taking. You can see it in the film The Rock.

Hmmm....wander where this is going???
