BRAND NEW YEAR IN SF

Nieve came to visit me in Oakland. If you haven't been to the DeYoung Museum yet, go. It's free to go up in the lookout tower.



Across the way is the construction of the new Acadamy of Sciences building. It's suppose to be the "greenest" sustainable venture to date. The living roof will provide 90% of the running (non-drinkable) water amongst many other features.

My sister came to visit too. Here she is perched up on the bridge in the Japanese Tea Garden. Go there too. Relax.

Tulips and poppies down at the windmills on Ocean Beach. I love dusk.

So, from the southwest corner of the DeYoung tower you'll see a perfect grassy knoll hill popping out between the buildings. It looked perfect for a picnic or drinkin' spot. After driving around for a while we found it at the top of Noriega St. It's well worth checking out, although about as windy as Twin Peaks, so unless you get one of those rare hot days with no wind, I wouldn't recommend a picnic.

Here's the steps leading up to one part of the hill:


And here's the views from up there. Twin Peaks.
