We started our day
with a tour of the mansions in Pacific Heights. Seen is one of them.
A view of the bay
from Pacific Heghts.
Demaris really
liked the mansion on the left. I liked the ones to the right.
Sushi. It's whats
for lunch.
Trinity Episcopal
Church. Great turrets.
Yes, there are
still good Reubens in the world, just not in Atlanta anymore. This is the
main one. We realized the main branch was in San Fran after lunch (and
they had already closed.)
Grace Cathedral is "home
church" of the labyrinth movement. Seen above is the outdoor
labyrinth. The lighting wasn't good enough for a shot of the indoor one.
Grace Cathedral.
Big. It's not stone, apparently if you "beat" concrete you can
get a stone like effect. It took them from 1938 to 1964 to build. Really
Big.
Nob Hill.
Gate to Chinatown.
Where's Demaris?
Trans-Atlantic
Pyramid.
"Nank and the
whole world Nanks with you. Dinner at the House of Nanking. A P.O.L.C. in
Chinatown, sort of a cross between Tortilla's and the V with the Soup Nazi
(Seinfeld) in charge. 30 minute wait for what is clearly the best food in
Chinatown (as all the people in line would gladly state). The prices are
dirt cheap as well, they pack them in like the V on a game day. You go in,
you order quickly, you pay them however much they want (always very
little) you eat what you're given (they get the meat right) if you vary
the S.N. will get out the cleaver or even worse ban you. I thought he was
going to execute the silly poof in line who asked for white wine while she
waited... The peanut sauce on the Pot Stickers was amazing (center) and
the Nanking Chicken was like the best Kung Pau with Sweet Potatoes.
