City & Crissy

Back from the City. Spent a whole day in the Exploratorium, well almost the whole day. Pretty interesting but for me there was just too much information to absorb and with my poor eyesight, too many things to read to explore and to do. So I got tired but the Man the Three Quarter Man and the Young Woman had energy to spare for all 4 of us. Very much like Science Center but older, more hands on, people are encouraged to touch, to feel, to test for themselves. Then to Crissy Field area for the already ended kite festival but there were still quite a few families with their colorful kites. Our $15 kite first got caught in the roof of the one and only food stand and had to be rescued by the owner of the kite stand and then became off balance and kept crashing into the field. So after some rough surgery by the Man, the father and son team kept trying to keep the darn thing in the air while the mother and daughter team admitted defeat to the persistent cold wind blowing in from the Bay and retreated to the shelter of the car to watch the male team teased the unwilling kite.

Finally dinner at the same old same old Penang Garden in Chinatown where we waited half an hour for a table and I got really pissed with a stupid waitress who came out of the blue and let a family in ahead of us.
