Last Day in San Francisco

Our last day in San Fran we visited the De Young Museum.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the De Young:

George Washington made out of George Washingtons

This piece was really cool. It was called "Anti-mass," and is composed of hundreds of pieces of burnt wood hanging from the ceiling. The charred wood is actually wood from a black church that was burnt down by the KKK. The suspension of the wood symbolized the church being taken up into heaven, regardless of the color of the church members.

The De Young was a really interesting museum, but I feel like I didn’t have enough time to really look at everything. After the De Young, we left to go back to Bass Lake, but we made one important stop on the way:

The Golden Gate Bridge!

Instead of going to the top of the bridge with everyone else, Alex, Skylar, and I went through an underground tunnel, down a windy road, and to the foot of the bridge. Then Alex climbed on some rocks and got soaked. Oh Alex…

Underground Tunnel

When we started heading back, it began to rain, so we had to run all the way back in the rain. Almost the whole car ride back we were soaked..but it was so worth it =).

Thankfully, I did not end up in prison on the San Francisco Trip. At the bottom of the itinerary which Katie and Rob (the director and RD) gave us was a little disclaimer:

“It is not the policy to bail out students from jail if they get into trouble, but we will come and hold your hand through the bars and sing praise songs with you for comfort while your parents travel to SF to pick you up.”
