Golden Gate Park

Today we went to San Francisco--it was free day at our favorite museum, the de Young. We saw the textiles exhibit, which was fantastic. We looked at some other stuff too--lots of masks and spirit shields and statues--until my brain was full. Then we visited the San Francisco Botanical Garden and looked at some beautiful plants. There was a certain area with different types of fuchsias. I called it fuchsia mania. I really like them. And there was a vine with strange flowers that we called alien flowers--they were being visited by bumble bees.

Then we walked into the city a few blocks looking for an Indian-Pakistani place where we might get samosas for a treat. We didn't find the one we were looking for, but we did find vegan ice cream. I had a flavor called Charlie Brown's Nightmare, and it was good.

    That sounds like a great day.
    Jen and I are looking forward to seeing a bit of San Francisco soon as well.

    The zine fest is held right next to the SF Botanical Garden. But they're going to start charging admission this weekend. Sad face!
