Week in Review

Last week was a bit busy for us. What did we do you ask? Tim worked everyday even the weekend. As for me, I am the culture and social director of our household so I went to the de Young Museum with my friend Andrew. Thank you Andrew for the pictures again. The picture to the left I am in the standard Japanese tourist pose in front of the de Young Museum.

I was looking forward going to de Young. The building alone was something that I wanted to see. There are copper panels that envelope the building. When I first saw the building and the tower I thought it might be under construction with a protective covering/casing some buildings have when they’re rebuilding. But when I looked closer I saw the patterns and the copper and loved it. Just reminds me not to judge too early. The de Young Museum is a gorgeous building inside and out. The art – eh, but I loved being in that building. It’s like going to the Guggenheim, although the art there was great there, I was more excited to see and experience being in the building.

The café at de Young was also a fun experience. Food was not memorable at all, but the space is nice and airy with a beautiful garden view. There is also an amazing observation deck on the 9th floor. Great 360 degree view.

We also got to go to Giants game. My internship had a staff team building day! We all got to go to a game and significant others also were invited so Tim got to enjoy a night out instead of just working. It was a good night since Bonds was two away from the homerun record. He didn’t get any homeruns that night but it added some excitement to the evening.

After this week I’m just reminded out what a great city this is. I’m still in the honeymoon stage.
