After our day of enjoying fine art, we decided to go out and get some delicious Thai food from Thai Spice which is located just south of Golden Gate Park, and then went to the Marin Headlands for a bit of a drive near Point Bonito. The remnants of many old gun emplacements are still visible here. I saw some views of the Golden Gate that I hadn’t seen before, and snapped a bunch of pictures with my cheapy $50 digital camera. When I got home, I stitched them together to make the panorama above. Not the highest quality, but a pleasant view nonetheless.

DaVinci and the Splendor of Poland
Carmen and I went to the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco today to get away from the war news coming out of Iraq and to get a chance to view a real DaVinci, his famous Woman with an Ermine, which is on loan from the Czartorski Museum in Krakow. There were also a number of very fine paintings, including some very nice views of Warsaw painted by Bernardo Bellotto which astounded both Carmen and I with their fine detail. It was a splendid display of Polish art, and well worth attending.
