The De Young museum in Golden Gate Park reopened at the weekend...for 48 hours. So we nipped down at 2.30am on Sunday morning to find a queue of thousands. Somehow a friend blagged us in as landscape gardeners, so we didn't have to wait four hours to see exhibits like 'African Headress c.1971' and 'Victorian Vase c. 1876'.
The building is stunning but I'll have to take another look inside when less tired and emotional. I always prefer the outsides of museums though.
The rest of Sunday was spent on Ocean Beach - sandwiched between a full moon and a candescent Californian sunset. Aaaaaaaah...!
