Beautiful Day in The City

What a gorgeous day! Out to North Beach, usual cafe with the usual people, then Fort Mason. Hit the MOMA, but new exhibits were disappointing, although the permanent collection is always a delight. LOVE Matta's Chamboles Les Amoureuses, it's just so weird and bizarre.

Wanted to eat at our favorite Thai place 'round the corner, but closed, *sigh*! Anyway, off we go to the Asian, where we grabbed a quick bite, then toured the collection quickly, stopping of course at an absolute favorite - OMG, how GORGEOUS is the Shakyamuni as an ascetic, Nephrite, early 20th. The current exhibit, Drama and Desire is excellent. Sooo wonderful to see some of the ukiyo-e scrolls and paintings, other than the more-studied woodblock prints. Of course, one of my favorite subjects. Bought the exhibit catalogue to get a bit more in-depth review of the works before revisiting. Wonderful, wonderful.
