<\/a><\/center>\nI kept going, and turned towards downtown, and started seeing signs for various art museums, so I followed them. I remembered that admission to the Yerba Buena Contemporary Art Museum<\/a> was free (First Tuesday of the month,) so I had to visit. They had a bunch of interactive things to do and create, so that part was a lot of fun. Some of my friends will be receiving really terrible handmade postcards in the next few days.<\/p>\n
I know I said I was going to avoid the SF MOMA<\/a> on it’s free day, but it was right across the street from the Yerba Buena Museum and I thought… what’s the worst that could happen? It was pretty full people, but it wasn’t too unmanageable a crowd, so I’m glad I went. Lots of tourists. I really wonder how many locals take advantage of it, I know the Edmonton Art Gallery get’s packed on the free nights. I saw some of my favourite pieces, and it was mind blowing to be in the same room as pieces by greats like Lichtenstein, Baselitz, and Gerhard Richter.<\/p>\n I got into San Francisco yesterday morning after a slight delay… surprise! there was fog in San Fransisco. The BART system from the airport is wonderfully convenient, and walking to Green Tortoise Hostel wasn’t a big deal from the Montgomery Station. The hills are pretty epic, but nothing too major.

\nIt was getting late, and I was getting hungry, so I wandered back to The Plant Cafe for something to eat. I know I don’t say this often, but I didn’t enjoy my meal. I really wanted to like it, the location was amazing, the staff were friendly. My plate had beautiful colours, a decent sized portion, but it was missing something. At first I chalked it up to having a cold, but as I was telling myself this, I realized I could taste it, it just wasn’t very good. The cupcake was too sweet, and moist in a tolerable but not necessarily pleasing way, and the burger (I ordered the Wasabi Plant Burger on whole wheat bread, ps. their buns aren’t vegan) was a weird combination. The wasabi patty with sauerkraut and thick raspberry aioli was kind of absurd. I was hungry, I ate most of it, but it due to a focus on sustenance rather then the usual food related delight. I probably wouldn’t eat there again. Okay… something positive… the pickles were good.<\/p>\n![\"Wasabi](\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4119\/4859382098_69bf20a64b.jpg\")

\nToday I walked over to the Exploratorium. It was such a great place, it reminded me a lot of the Space and Science Center in Edmonton (now called the Telus World of Science) when I was little. That same feeling of excitement came over me and I was running around to displays and playing with different things. IT’s definitely targeted towards kids, but I’m pretty sure anyone can get something out of it. This was also free today, so the line was pretty long to get in (and I was early.)<\/p>\n![\"Golden](\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4136\/4861918712_2234e5efea.jpg\")

\nSince I was so close to the Golden Gate Bridge, I figured I might as well try and cross it today. It was pretty cold and foggy, but it looked beautiful anyway. It was full of people also, and I’m not sure how there aren’t more bike\/pedestrian accidents because no one seems to look where they are going. The view from the bridge towards the city was fantastic.<\/p>\n

\nSo far it’s been an awesome day. Tonight I’m checking out the Souley Vegan restaurant in Oakland and hopefully running into some other San Francisco vegans off of the PPK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
