Golden Gate Park: California Academy of Sciences
Second time visiting the academy for Alicia and I. There was a lot less people this time (weekday vs weekend) so we had the opportunity to visit the rain forest exhibit.
David caught working… bad David!

Mini-golf
When I was a teenager living in Paris, my dad and I would often go to the Bois de Vincennes in Paris to play mini-golf. I have fond memories of those outings because it gave us a chance to do something together.
We took a trip back in time today and went to play at our local min-golf.
Alcatraz
A beautiful day visiting Alcatraz with my parents that arrived from France the day before.
The tour is really good with the opportunity to learn about the history of Alcatraz, the famous inmates and escape attempts as well as the customary jail cell photo-op.
And on a good day like this one, you get an awesome view of San Francisco’s skyline from the island.
The School Of Athens
We completed a puzzle depicting the ultra famous fresco by Raphael: The School of Athens. It was easier than the previous one we did during the holidays except maybe for the upper corners.
We hung it right next to my desk so I can look at the master polymaths when I need some inspiration.
Holiday Spirit
This holiday season, we enjoyed the holiday spirit at Christmas in the Park in San Jose and Union Square in San Francisco.
We shared good time and memories with dear friends and thought about everybody else that could not be there.
We ate some yummy treats, like this chocolate soufflé from Chez Jacqueline.
And we built something beautiful together (though credit for the beauty belongs to Van Gogh).
Wishing for more of those for 2012. Happy New Year!
Rafting the American River
After some solo tubing in June, we went back to the river last weekend for some more good time rafting down the South Fork of the American River.
On the menu, some class III rapids with names like Satan’s Cesspool, Bouncing Rock, and Hospital Bar.
Nothing too mean. Just enough to raise the adrenaline level and leave with a grin.
