San Francisco, vacation day 4

On our last day in San Francisco, we headed to the Palace of the Legion of Honor art museum, which is on the opposite side of the city from where our hotel is. We navigated the bus system and, after a 40 minute bus trip and a 10 minute hike up the hill, arrived at the museum. Both the bus and the walk gave us a chance to check out parts of the city we hadn't yet seen, which was really nice. The Palace is a relatively small museum, but it has some wonderful pieces. It also affords a striking view across the bay, including a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. After we finished at the museum, we took the bus back to Union Square, had lunch and did some shopping. We went to a really cool "European Character" store that had loads of Tintin stuff-- the entire series of books, t-shirts, mouse pads, greeting cards, plus two nearly-life size statues of Tintin and Snowy. If you don't know who or what Tintin is, well, you haven't really lived! We also went to Macy's (all seven floors of it). Later, at the hotel, I happened to check the messages on our machine at home, and found out that our flight tomorrow had been cancelled! So we called Delta and got on all new flights. That's all the news that's fit to print. The next post will be from Gainesville. See you then!
