Over Christmas two of my good friends and I went on an excursion out Californee way. Sadly, no Gold was to be found, but we had a great time anyways. One of the highlights was the California Academy of Sciences. It is one of the best natural history museums I've ever been to. Perhaps I'm a bit old for their demographic, but who cares. Butterflies, Jellyfish and Parrots are awesome!
We stayed in a rather "interesting" neighborhood which provided significant motivation to get out and explore the city.
Good Dim Sum was eaten, often without explanation of it's contents, as well as great Italian food and wonderful pastries.
Other sights include:
- Golden Gate Bridge
- The Piers (and Ferry Building)
- Golden Gate Park
- The Japanese Tea Garden
- Lands End
- Chinatown
- The Palace of Fine Arts
- Alcatraz
- Lombard Street
Overall, it was a wonderful trip full of wonderful people having a wonderful time!
