The building is cool - five floors overlooking the main entrance. There's a lot of organic-looking stuff (can go through that pretty quickly) then some interesting photography, especially the Oriental shots with recognizable scenes of China. I really liked the early modernists(?) - Georges Braque (cubist phase), Picasso, Kandinsky, the original Flower Vendor by Rivera (Myrtle has a reproduction - it's neat to see the original) and a Frida Kahlo of Diego Rivera (her husband) and herself (a new one to me). I may become a fan.
2. Coit Tower (Don couldn't remember having been there). http://www.inetours.com/Pages/
It was a beautiful day and we could see far. The Golden Gate Bridge had some fog around it but everything else was clear. We especially enjoyed the murals around the inside of the building. The elevator ride wasn't my favorite thing to do but we survived.
3. Grace Cathedral. What an amazing structure - very much like being in a European cathedral: http://www.gracecathedral.org/
I walked the outside Labyrinth (indoor one was being cleaned) and decided I'd had my steps for the day. It was pretty neat.
4. Alamo Park. Don was looking forward to seeing some of the older homes and there are some wonderful ones around there.

That was enough.
