We had a nice final day in San Francisco on Saturday. We gave ourselves about 3 hours of wandering around the city just enjoying the urban landscape as two adults. We didn’t bring the kids along on this trip as it was sort of an anniversary gift to ourselves.
We love our kids, of course, and at 5 and 7 years old, they’re pretty good travelers… but hours in museums and walking around a big city aimlessly taking in whatever catches your eye is not always that enjoyable for kids. So we opted to leave them at home with the Grandparents. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their respective weekends.

After lots of walking, visiting the MOMA, and watching my wife shop (I’m not a fan of shopping, but I believe in the 3 little words rule to a happy marriage “she’s always right”)… my wife decided it was time for me to go back to the hotel “and workout”… ah… that sounds good.
Actually I did a little work (you all want new features right?) and then hit the fitness center.
I did 30 minutes on the LifeFitness LifeCycle… and then 30 minutes of strength training. Phew… it was short, but a good workout and tiring considering I had spent the day walking around San Francisco.
Off to dinner with our good friends Philip and his wife.

I’m not actually sure how far we’ve walked so I’ve estimated. Blogging from the Blackberry is doable but not as fast.
Great show about Matisse’s sculpture. It is interesting to see how he took a break from painting to learn sculpture… And how his experimentation with sculpture influenced his painting and eventual collage works.

Last month when we took our trip to Victoria BC we stopped by the BC Museum of Natural History. They have an exhibit there that is a replica of 19th Century Western Canada/British Columbia. As we strolled through the mock streets looking in shop windows and touring “houses”, “livery stables”, “restaurants”, “theaters” and the like, we happened upon this cool old bike.
Needless to say I had to snap a bunch of photos…
The drive train… becoming the fixie nut that I am I had to take a bunch of pictures of the drive train. The teeth on this looked really big with wide gaps. I didn’t count them, but I estimate there are around 44 teeth but the size of the chain ring is more like the size of a 52T or higher by today’s standards.
The handle bars were awesome! These are definitley the inspiration behind the name “handle bar mustache”… look at how these sweep slowly down to the sides. Cool! Can you imagine riding around town with these?
And finally the seat… When I first saw the label I was like “Cool! A Wright Brothers Bicycle”… Duh, no, this is made by the Wright Bicycle Co. of England. Still… it’s a cool bike.
