San Francisco III

Golden Gate Park



The conservatory in the park was as pretty as I had seen in pictures. The stark white structure stood out amongst the trees and grass and colourful flowers that surrounded it. The funniest object I saw a double coconut. It looked like a woman with too much junk in the trunk bending over.



The De Young museum was an impressive building and we arrived at the Japanese Tea Garden just in time to take a guided tour with Ted who turned out his family were originally from Liverpool. We learned a little of the history of the garden and the family who maintained it. The gardens were really beautiful, full of ancient trees that were imported from Japan. We drank some tea by the pond where we threw in coins and made some wishes.
