I was on a boat

That crossed the bay

To "The City"

Where we had a guided tour by a retired lawyer of the TJPA/Salesforce Transit Center and Rooftop Gardens

Then saw some art

And took the new subway (only $1.9B)  to Chinatown,

for their night market.

And then a short rest*

Before taking the ferry home again.

Yesterday actually. Drove Mary and Emily to the airport for their flight to SFO to search for available/affordable apartments in Pacific Heights.

Emily starts her job on Monday as a clinical Pediatrics Speech Therapist so a new chapter in her life begins.

 

The airport round trip took over four hours.  The same time it would take to drive from LA to San Diego.

Having just been to see Coriolanus (Shakespeare), we went through the list of Shakespeare plays we have seen. We've seven yet to see. But the most memorable productions were:

Merry Wives of Windsor. David Troughton (son of Patrick Troughton, one of the early Dr Who's)

Much Ado about Nothing. David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

The Winter's Tale. Kenneth Branagh and Judy Dench.

Titus Andronicus (a gore fest revenge play; blood and guts from beginning to end). David Troughton

Julius Caesar. Ben Wishaw.

Hamlet. Michael Sheen.

King Lear, Four notable productions. Frank Langhella (excellent), Ian McKellen (superb), Glenda Jackson (RIP, but was superb), and most recently (this year) Kenneth Branagh (surprisingly superb).

Macbeth. Patrick Stewart (the definitive play! For a treat watch this on You Tube), Sean Bean and Samantha Bond, Rory Kinnear and Anne-Marie Duff, and by far the worst one Christopher Eccleston. Have tickets to see David Tennant this autumn. As you might tell, we like this play!

Othello. Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear.
