Photos and Update from 3rd Day in SF

Our hotel

Monday night we watched the movie 'Presidio' 1988 in the hotels cinema, we had the whole cinema to ourselves. The room we are staying in is named after the movie, and there are photos and other info about the movie in our room. All the other roms in the hotel are also named after San Francisco movies (glad we're not staying in invasion of the body snatchers room!)

Tuesday, we got up late and missed out on doing the bike ride over the Golden Gate bridge. But we did get to do some museum tours in the afternoon, the first was the California Academy of Science which was interesting. Mostly aquariums but a few very interesting snakes, including some very thin long tree snakes (will post photos when we can). Next stop was the Museum of Modern Art, but on the way Sarah found a beautifully restored caruosel, which she went for a ride on. Afterwards we realised we had actually watched a documentary on the Discovery channel earlier this year about the restoration of it. The museum of modern art was very unusual, we did a guided tour of a one of the exhibitions 'Drawing Restraint' by Matthew Barney (Bjorks boyfriend). His art is.... 'very modern' and involves a lot of petrolium jelly, white plastic & exercise equipment, and symbolism of whales and atropy which went way over our heads. It became very apparent that Sarah & I have a lot to learn about modern art. Lastly we managed to upload a lot of photo's to a photo album(set) on Flickr, you can find them on the link on the right side of this page.
