We took a bus to Golden Gate Park, which is enormous, we could easily have spent a day there. We walked through a beautiful rose garden and a Japanese tea garden and also visited a really interesting art gallery, the De Young museum. Most of the works were by American artists, such as Thomas Moran, who are well known in America but who we had never come across before and the themes of the paintings were interesting, many featuring scenes from the Civil War. We also went up to the top of the De Young tower where we had a great 360 degree view of San Francisco. (click on the images to enlarge)
