San Francisco, to sum up the trip I had a great time. Not at all what I expected it to be like so that was fantastic. During the long trip in the car I got to listen to the professor's stories which were inspiring and on the way back I was goofing around with new found friends. On the way coming and going to SF we had spent the night in Reno and can I say in general I am not a big fan of Reno but it does have one saving grace: the art museum.
Heading to California we learned the forecast was going to be rainy so the professors threw the rest of the plans for what we were going to do out the window and just winged it. The first day we got tons of free time which was great. We went all over looking at little shops and print galleries and one of which had some Mucha's. We then got to
Crown Point Press and I got a little tour which was the top highlight of the trip for me. I tried to take as much in as I could.
The next highlight for me was to go to all the museums and see the art I have only see in history booka and some I have never seen at all. I think the
SFMOMA was where my favorite painting of the trip
was Pablo Picasso Scène de rue (Street Scene). For closer look click here 
Another wonderful place I found was the Zen garden at the
Japanese Tea Garden it really was a peaceful place to sit and just think.
And the last highlight was the food from breakfast till dinner there was not a shortage of good food to eat like Chinese and
Ghirardelli. To top it off I got home on March 14th to a fantastic chicken pot pie made by my great wife.

I remember going to the art museum in SF as a high school kid. They had a Rembrandt (spelling?), and it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. I just stared at the eyes the whole time I was near it. As for the Biggest Little City, my parents dragged us to Reno literally every year of my childhood; Casino hotels are cheap for Mormons ;-) (We don't gamble, so it's all gravy!) Reno used to have really cool coin shops. I'm glad you had a good time.
Hey thanks. Rembrandt is still amazing if you ask me.
nice pi Jillian
Looks like a lot of fun!! I just found this and thought I'd share this fun blog post about printing with a past maker. Yes. That's right.
