Wonderful Day In San Francisco: Jewish Museum Wow

Yesterday we drove to San Francisco to meet our friends Doreen and Simone to enjoy a visit to the Jewish Museum together... We all decided food was of utmost importance upon our arrival so we stopped at the small, brightly lit restaurant in the museum and enjoyed their very Jewish menu of food choices.

Doreen had the herring salad... we had chopped veggie salad and latkes, and Simone had mushroom stroganoff. It was all good. But best of all was eating with good friends.

Outside again...I thought this building looked like it came right out of a Bat Man movie... or maybe Darth Vader?

This is the museum from one of it's sides...can you believe this architecture?

Inside again...Doreen photographs Simone sitting on a slanted bench...

We were not allowed to take photos of any of the art in the galleries unfortunately. The Chagall exhibit was awesome. I became quite enraptured by his whimsical, mystical art...and could sit and look at it for a long time. We also saw many clips from plays he was involved in...

The Jewish theater in Russia and later in the US has an incredible history that was very interesting to learn about.

And the Susan Hiller exhibit of streets in Germany with the words Jew and or Jewish in them was quite moving to see. Not sure what exactly Doreen and DH were facing off about out here in front of the museum.

I sincerely hope they resolved whatever it was... ;-)

I loved this shot of these two women one so intently busy on her cell phone, the other waiting patiently...DH reading a book he picked up in the museum store while we waited for the elevator to the parking lot.

And then it was time for dinner so we drove to Tiburon and ate at a very good Mexican restaurant on the water over looking SF from the other side of the bay.

It was a good visit and we promised to get together again before too long.
