Sam and I met some of my Yale friends (Pascale and her daughter, Juliana, Andy, and Scott, who was in town for a conference, but has been living the ex-pat life in London for some time now). We had lunch at the De Young Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, visited the sculpture garden, reviewed the architecture of the new building (none of us were keen on the exterior) and checked out the view from the tower (excellent).
