On the way to the Palace of Fine Arts/Exploratorium: Iman in
front of a cute little house. |
The grandiose buildings of the Palace of Fine Arts. |
The Palace of Fine Arts: the Exploratorium is housed in the same
building complex. |
Inside the Exploratorium: this exhibit showed that the vibration
can cause intricate patterns in the sand. |
There were too many interesting things going on here! We're just
way too busy playing than taking pictures! This was one exception:
about a dozen or so finely made mechanical exhibits were shown
here - each of them also showed the interesting mechanics inside
the wooden box underneath. This tiger apparently is thinking
of fish all the time. |
"The Council Counsellor". |
Bon appetit! |
A sheep in wolf's skin? |
"The Mill Girl and the Toff". |
Bathing in delicious spaghetti can't be bad! |
"Hungry for love"? |
My favorite: "Poisoned Milk". The cat would collapse
after licking the milk a while. |
A corner of the Exploratorium: kids are everywhere (but adults
played as hard as the kids did!). |

by the gyro. |
Look, a Space Mouse! |
Palace of Fine Arts - we didn't visit the inside though. |

A "V" pointing to a cloudy sky - not very assuring
isn't it? |

An interesting sign @ Legion of Honor. Behind is a golf course
(Later Mon-chu - a friend - told me the same Lincoln Highway
goes through Pittsburgh too! See http://about.lincolnhwy.net). |
After a day's sightseeing, we're back to a comfortable corner
in a Starbucks. |
