Crowds
We had wanted to go to the new California Academy of Sciences but the crowds were too thick; if you look carefully at the zoomed-in photo above you’ll see the ticket line snaking away from the left side of the building and down the street.
We went to the De Young Museum instead. It’s spectacular inside — the photo above of the Academy of Sciences was taken from the De Young’s observation tower.
There was a pretty magnificent Maya Lin exhibition going on inside. The lady really likes her landmasses and positive/negative space.
On Christmas Day we went to get Dim Sum in San Francisco’s Chinatown (a family tradition). There is nothing more comforting than a restaurant packed to the gills with yammering Chinese people — you know the food is good and you’re all set. Likewise, there is nothing more depressing than a restaurant in Chinatown that is totally deserted at lunch time — in a packed restaurant you feel the crowd’s presence, and in an empty restaurant you definitely feel their absence.
