The "Hearts"

This is  the "Heart" at Union Square. We visited it when we went to the Apple store, which is across the street.

And this was one of Pippa's picks. It was on her Farmer's Market route.
 

San Francisco Places

This is the Farmer's Market.

This is Pippa's Sunday morning trip to the Farmers Market along with "wiggly" trail which is the bike route.

As a first stop was the German-speaking Pretzel stop!
 

The Ramses Exhibition

This is the De Young Museum with the beckoning sign for the Ramses Exhibition!

This is among the first images we see. Is it "nephrite" that the face is composed of?

This is a rendition of the Sphinx, but it connects to Ramses.

Here's a diorama: it's of a ravine, which puts multiple Ramses on the left.
 

The September 2-5 2022 Trip

This was done by Pippa, after the Ramses show. We were chilling to the big band - surfing songs.

Here is the beginning of our Park experience. We were about to enter the Botanical Garden

That's Sebastian. He always liked the Redwood Grove, so he is in his element!

This is a trunk of a tree taken in the Redwood Grove by me.

Amaryllis?




 

New Arrivals!

 Making our first climb up the Moraga Street Stairs! Lucky we had such a great photographer on hand.

At the very top, several more flights above the Moraga stairs-

A bit breezy up here, can you tell?

At the top (almost) of our first hike, Corona Heights Park.

The double-wide expanse of the fourth floor, leading into the guest room.
 

The Mission Dolores

The Mission Dolores has a chapel and a big church. We photographed the big church.

In it were these impressive statues!
 

Dolores Park

This is Dolores Park- a lovely public area to stroll in!

A street car line travels along one edge of Dolores Park.

A walking bridge crosses over the trestle.

One route from the park leads to the Mission Dolores.
 Note the offerings. 

Candles are traditional, but it WAS a warm day...
