SERENITY NOW!
So Margaret and George are in town and we went in to the City today to chill with them. We started out at the Ferry Plaza and had lunch at Taylor's (yay), then we schlepped across town to the park and the Conservatory of Flowers. It was fabulous, but it was a freakin' sauna in there. We still needed more flowery goodness, so we walked over to the Japanese Tea Garden. I TRIED to be tranquil and shit, but I couldn't do it. (I was successfully tranquilized somewhat later by several Hendricks and Tonics at the Thirsty Bear.)
The pictures are on Smugmug. I'm going to put Nathan's pictures up, too. It's really cool how we took totally different pictures of the same plants. Mine are mostly close up and weird, and Nathan's pictures show the plants in context with their surroundings.
Anyway, it was a swell day. I'm a little sunburned and a lot tired, but my unstylish new sneakers from L.L. Bean didn't give me blisters. Woohoo!

I loved all your pictures.

Nathan got the closest to tranquillity, I think, at least until we got to the drinkies part. Thanks for meeting up and doing stuff -- we had a ball!
