Today's field trip was to the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park, (which is in San Francisco, for non-Californians). Parking is easy in the DeYoung Museum's new underground lot, and today was Opera in the Park as well, which provided background arias for our floral adventure. Before the park, we had a nice lunch at Genki Ramen, which is not far, and afterwards, we went to the Toronado for a couple of beers, and then picked up a Rosamund sausage for the road and Indian Oven food for dinner at home later. All in all, a satisfying and sunny day in the city.
Whew. We hadn't been since before Seattle. Although it's true that I can't imagine living with other houses smashed right up against me, and people everywhere all the time, I do still semi-secretly want to live in a city.
Check out some of the cool flora and (dead) fauna we saw today. An amazing diversity of dahlias, but also of carnivorous pitcher plants and tropical foliage.
