We had seen the biggest trees in the world at Sequoia, now we went to see the tallest at Muir Woods. Tall trees are all very well, but more importantly, this was the location of a crucial scene of Vertigo. Here Rachel and Sam re-enact the scene where Kim Novak tells Jimmy Stewart where she lived and died. Sam, like Jimmy, is a little downcast. Looks like he is well on the way to being a great actor.
Very tall trees. Obviously Hannah did yet another Junior Ranger program. A trip to a National Park just doesn't cut the mustard without one of those.
I didn't know there were gum trees in California. There were areas that we drove through today that looked just like southern New South Wales. It smelled like the Australian bush. And then I saw a sign for a guy selling macadamias! I was half expecting to see kangaroos hopping through the forest.
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco has a new art gallery - the de Young Gallery. A funky building that seems to be twisted around the vertical axis. Unfortunately closed on Mondays.
