SFMOMA, Jewish Museum and GLBT History Museum


We went to the San Francisco museum of Modern art this morning.  We both enjoyed lots of art, particularly the bright and bold Mexican Modern art.

After the museum we had a delicious Mexican lunch with lots of salad at a restaurant called Tropisueño, in the financial district.
After lunch we had a really interesting visit to the Jewish History museum - it laid out some fascinating facts about life for Jews in the Bay Area and it was good to see that the area had largely been safe and welcoming over the years.

After the Jewish Museum we met briefly with an old School Friend for a drink and then went down to the Castro to the see the GLBT History Museum.  It showed life for GLBT people through the latter part of the 20th century and had a fantastic audio tour to accompany the exhibition.  From the Castro we came back to the hotel for a wash and change and then went out to dinner (via a cable car) to a nice place called Bix, with Robert, Sean and Sian.

We finished the evening with a few drinks at Twin Peaks, one of the oldest bars in the Castro and with huge windows so you can sit and watch the world go by.  As we did!
