Monday was hot, Tuesday was hot, Wednesday was cold. So cold I needed a blanket for the bed but the staff had failed to provide one in the closet. I even looked in a storage closet I knew about and checked all around the guest house to no avail. Finally, I put the bath robe over the bed and put a pillow over my feet. The first thing this morning I got the staff to bring me a blanket.
I started the morning with the intention to go to Lombard Street. I had passed it several times in previous visits to San Francisco but wanted to walk down it. I caught the J line to Powell street and rode a cable car. Surprisingly, there wasn’t too much of a line for the cable car and I made the second car. I got off at the top of Lombard and walked down it.
Interestingly, it is not the crookedest street in San Francisco but it is probably one of the prettiest with all those flowers.
From the bottom of the crooked drive I walked to Fisherman’s wharf and ended back at the Municipal Pier, this time to visit the Maritime Museum. The museum is free to the public and is in the last year of renovation of the Art Deco facility, so there were not that many exhibits. However, the WPA murals inside the building had been restored and were superb!
One interesting item was a restored whaling boat like the one you read about in Moby Dick.

Yesterday, Tom and I saw swimmers and today there were two in the bay. That water had to be freezing.
I then stopped by Ghiradelli Square and bought the chocolates that Tom lost yesterday on the street car.
The last thing I thought of doing was to go to the Exploratorium. I knew it had moved into a new facility on the Embarcadero and had almost gone in a couple of times on previous trips. This is the one originally started by J. Robert Oppenheimer of Los Alamos fame. The facility is huge. It takes up one entire pier on the Embarcadero and the place was full. Even more importantly, the kids were thoroughly engaged in the exhibits having a ball.
I ate lunch there overlooking the bay and then pulled a Tom Green and lost my Muni Pass for the week while in the Exploratorium. I stopped on the way back to the guest house at Powell street and forked over another $40 for another pass. It still will come out cheaper since I take public transportation everywhere in San Francisco.
More on Jenufa on my web site when I return home but it was a very interesting opera (and 1 1/2 hours shorter than Don Carlo). Tonight is Carmen.
