Saturday afternoon was spent perusing the exhibit "Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul" at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Aside from the amazing artifacts displaying a mixture of cultural influences, the exhibit tells the story of how these artifacts were rescued from the massive destruction in Afghanistan. More info here. For those in the Bay Area, you only have till this weekend to catch it.
Saturday night went as follows, with my good friend Ameetess: cocktails at Michael Mina, show at the Punchline, and late dinner at Ana Mandara.
Sunday was a slow day. I wanted to visit the Xanadu Gallery, located in the only Frank Lloyd Wright building in San Francisco. Got as far as the circular gate as the gallery was closed. Another visit for another day. Even from the outside though, the Wright details are self-evident. Peeking inside, one sees hints of the style of the Guggenheim in New York.
For a late lunch, we headed over to the Ferry Building. Had a soft-shell crab sandwich while V had his staple fish and chips. Lots of artisinal shops to peruse, including a mushroom stall, a salumeria, and of course, a pastry shop.
