Academy of Sciences

We headed into SF to visit the Cal Academy today. It really is a fantastic museum, and Zoe loved it.






She even got to touch sea stars, which was very exciting. She was, however not a fan of the automatically flushing toilets, which scared her and were soon deemed "mechante".

From there, I picked up a borrowed bike, which has aero bars. My knees hit them when i get out of the saddle, but moving them even a little is strictly verboten. Not terribly useful. At least this one is better than the mountain bike and actually has bottle cages!

Finally, Chez Panisse! The duck confit and the caramel truffle ice cream were fantastic. Kenji's fig tart was also excellent.



Finally, climbing at the gym and seeing some climbing friends. The seeing of friends part was fun, but not the falling off moderates part. Gotta get back in shape somehow! I hope it does not involve abstaining on things like duck confit, because that's just not going to happen.
