San Francisco Friday Things

King Tut!!! We took the bus to Golden Gate Park and the De Young Museum. The exhibit was amazing. It was brilliant. Of course, the biggest and coolest items do not travel but they had some very cool items. We then saw the Amish quilt exhibit was very remarkable and so cool to see textile art that was made 50 -100 years ago but so fresh as to design. I wandered around as well and saw the famous Peaceable Kingdom by Hicks.

In the park, there were statues of Robert Emmett and Robert Burns. How cool was that. We then walked to Haight Street and had lunch. We shopped along the street. Magnolia brew pub was visited and we tasted their Oyster Head Stout 4.9%(local oysters thrown into boil), Cole Porter 4.8%, and Dark Star Mild 3.6%. We then walked to the Toronado Bar and made happy hour. cash only and a great bar. We met a journalist who was interesting and convinced to try some of the local bars. We did it was okay. The great thing about it was that K and I bought some really cool hats that we not have bought had we not walked to this bar.
