We had hoped to continue our walk around the point to the ocean, but the area is now closed for security reasons. So we walked back to the Marina and caught a bus to take us to the Palace of the Legion of Honor.
We got off on Union Street, where we had lunch at the Brixton, then back on the bus. The Palace of the Legion of Honor is a beautiful art museum in an amazing setting, high above the city and the ocean, with views in all directions.
The featured exhibit was 'Pissaro's People,' which was very nice, with lots of paintings of his family and local workers. There was also an exhibit called 'The Mourners,' which were statues about 18" tall which were placed around tombs of royalty to represent people mourning. They were fascinating.
After another bus trip back to the hotel, we chose to have dinner at No. 9 Fisherman's Grotto. It proved to be an unfortunate choice. The food wasn't bad, but the service was really terrible. I guess its main business is the tourist crowd, and they obviously don't go out of their way to impress them.
