Naoko's SF Visit

A friend I met in Japan came to San Francisco at the end of her 3-week visit to the States. Everything about San Francisco intrigued her. As we were driving past Japantown she said she wanted to stop in and take a look. Not a lot going on there, some shops and restaurants and this photo op.


I took the afternoon off and got to go to the Academy of Science when it wasn't crowded. I was pleased to finally see the Rainforest exhibit. It's a big clear sphere with a large spiral walk way that takes you through the different levels of the rainforest. This picture is taken from below the rainforest (in the aquarium) looking up. A huge, blue moth landed me too! Hint: Wear something bright and you'll have a good chance of having a butterfly/moth land on you.
