San Francisco, June 2012

Helping Alx to bring back all her things after six months of intensive study and sucessfully passing her ACE (congrats Alx !). Some days in SF and wandering around with a car. De Young and MOMA museums were excellent.

Histoire d'aider Alx à ramener ses multiples bagages après six mois d'études et son succès à l'ACE. Quelques jours à visiter SF et visiter la région en voiture. Les musées de Young et le MOMA étaient particulièrment intéressants.
First a view from the hotel room. With daylight one can also see the sea.
