At the California Academy
We visited San Francisco and stayed overnight this past weekend. It was a rainy weekend but the city provided plenty of inside and mud free walking. We stayed in the Haight at the Red Victorian Hotel, and fulfilled my birthday wish to have Ethiopian food for dinner. Fiona thought that it was pretty cool that they don't use any utensils there, just fingers:
On Saturday we visited The California Academy of Sciences and peeled off our layers to revel in the warmth of their rainforest bubble. Fiona had a wonderful time. Then on Sunday we woke up and had a lovely breakfast and then went for a walk from "The Haight" to "the Castro"

The audience was about half girls under 10 wearing ruby slippers and half gay couples enjoying Judy Garland at her finest-- or perhaps ogling the Tin Man! Fiona loves singing "somewhere over the rainbow" and liked the movie very much, but didn't like the wicked witch very much because "she was bad." She "loved Dorothy because she was so beautiful...and Auntie Em and Uncle Henry"

We hope that you are all well and happy too.

It sounds as though the birthday weekend in SF was wonderful. Happy birthday!
Love the Castro Theatre. It reminds me of the old Regent in Rundle Street before it was gutted to make way for a sterile modern one.
