A gay day

Choose heaven for the weather 
Choose hell for the company
Says Mark Twain

We arrived at the Mark Twain Hotel yesterday after the usual long flight from DC. It is a nice old pub on the edge of the seamy end of town. 

Today we went to the Legion of Honor (a museum) to see the High Style exhibition of couturier gowns from the Brooklyn Museum whose collection has been absorbed by the Metropolitan Museum in NY. These were the Paris fashions that Mrs Post didn't choose because she was a real person not a fashion model. 

We were glad to get out of the city to avoid the huge gay parade which was still going when we got back. Tonight there is a ball game so the traffic is ferocious but the tourists donT mind because they are on foot.
